Jamie Murray secured his place in a third consecutive Grand Slam final after he and partner Bruno Soares beat French pair Adrian Mannarino and Lucas Pouille at the Australian Open.

Murray lost at the last hurdle with former partner John Peers at both Wimbledon and the US Open last year, but the Scot now has the chance to go one step further as he and Soares sealed a 6-3 6-1 victory.

They will now face the experienced duo of Canada's Daniel Nestor and Czech Radek Stepanek, and Murray believes his two final defeats last year will help him this time around.

"I think I know what to expect," Murray said.

"Obviously I came up on the wrong side the last two times I was there but it wasn't like I played bad matches or anything like that.

"I fully trust myself that I can perform in those matches. I believe Bruno can as well. I think the mentality we've got and the chemistry we seem to have struck up these last couple of weeks will bode well for us.
