Top seed Novak Djokovic beat defending champion Stan Wawrinka in another dramatic five-set contest to reach the Australian Open final.
Andy Murray will face Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final of the Australian Open but will not have spent the evening quaking in his boots while watching in his hotel.
World No 1 he may be, but the 27 year-old Serb was less than convincing in the course of a curious 7-6, 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 victory over defending Melbourne champion Stan Wawrinka.
These two have brought out the best in each other before, but there was an uneven quality about a contest that took a sapping three and a half hours, and which neither man seemed keen to win at times.
