Andy Murray beats Raonic to reach Australian Open final

Andy Murray has beaten Raonic and will now challenge Novak Djokovic in the final.

Andy Murray is into his th Australian Open final but he had to go the long way round after Milos Raonic outplayed him in today’s semi-final. For the first time in history, Murray would join his brother Jamie as the pair became the first brothers to reach simultaneous Grand Slam doubles and singles finals in the Open era.

Andy told Jim Courier after the match that it was an “incredible” achievement. “Both my parents will be extremely proud I’m sure. There’s not many tennis players come out of Scotland. I never expected to be doing this,” Murray said.

“Neither of our parents would have expected us to be here so for us to both be in a Slam final at the same time in pretty incredible, and hopefully he can get the win tomorrow.”

Raonic’s serve has been his most dangerous asset all tournament, and it was no different on Rod Laver Arena.The No.13 seed delivered a 233km/h service to kick off the eighth game of the set, which proved simply too quick for Murray to get his racquet.

Now, Murray has to face Djokovic in the Grand Slam final to win the trophy.
