Andy Murray into Australian Open final

Andy Murray has won through to the Australian Open final with a win over David Ferrer in the last four.

The Surrey-based Scot dropped the opening set against his Spanish opponent but fought back to complete a 4-6, 7-6, 6-1, 7-6 victory.

The 23-year-old fifth seed will now face Roger Federer’s conqueror Novak Djovokic in Sunday’s final for another chance to win his first Grand Slam.

It is the second successive year Murray has made the final in Melbourne and he will be aiming to produce a better performance this time round, having lost in straight sets to Federer on that occasion.
