Andy Murray vs Milos Raonic takes centre stage at the Australian Open

Andy Murray will play Milos Raonic in the Australian Open semi-finals on Friday morning for the right to meet old enemy Novak Djokovic in the final.

It's the 18th Grand Slam semi-final of Murray's career and is the latest hurdle in a uniquely problematic tournament that has threatened to end due to his wife's pregnancy and his father-in-law's health issues.

But on the courts of Melbourne, Murray has been almost flawless and has yet to be truly challenged in his winning run to the final four. Alexander Zverev and Sam Groth were seen off in straight sets before Murray took four to eliminate Joao Sousa, Bernard Tomic and David Ferrer.

Now, a day after Britain's Johanna Konta was eliminated at the semi-final stage of the women's draw, Murray will face Canada's Raonic for a place in the final where his biggest rival Djokovic awaits.
