"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No. 2-seed Andy Murray advanced to his fifth Australian Open final on Friday with a 4\u20136, 7\u20135, 6\u20137(4), 6\u20134, 6\u20132 win over No. 13-seed Milos Raonic.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raonic opened up the match by breaking Murray\u2019s serve and the Canadian held control for most of the first set, winning 6\u20134 in 36 minutes. He hit 14 winners and 14 unforced errors to Murray\u2019s four winners and six unforced errors in the opening set.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[tweet=https://twitter.com/thetennisisland/status/693012855260647424]\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Murray stormed back in the second set, going from winning 28% of return points in the first set to 38% in the second, while Raonic dropped from 35% to 20% in the second. Following a Raonic backhand volley into the net, Murray earned his first break of the match to take the second set 7\u20135 and level the match at one set apiece.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt was frustrating when you don't have a say on the points at first,\" Murray said in his post-match, on-court interview. \"But I started to get a slightly better read on his serves and made some better returns.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the third set, Raonic failed to get his second break of the match and Murray held to go up 6\u20135. But Raonic used his powerful serve to force a tiebreak and ultimately closed out the set with an ace.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Raonic up 2\u20131 in the fourth set, the Canadian called for a medical timeout during the changeover and went into the locker room. Though he seem irritated by the pause in the match, Murray seemed to settle in afterwards, breaking Raonic\u2019s serve for just the second time in the match, at love, to go up 4\u20133 in the fourth set. The Scot went on to consolidate the break but Raonic responded with a hold of his own to save the set point. In between games Raonic once again received treatment from the trainer on his right upper leg and the injury seemed to affect his play the next few points, as Murray saved break points to win the second set and sent the match to a decider.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[tweet=https://twitter.com/Dimonator/status/693048387789307904]\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CJust a difficulty to push off my leg with my adductor midway through the third set. That's what it was,\u201D Raonic said of the injury after the match. \u201CIt\u2019s unfortunate. Probably the most heartbroken I felt on court, but that's what it is.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The medical timeout proved to be a pivotal moment in the match, as Murray found his groove after that and completely elevated his game in the fifth set, earning a double break to go up 3\u20130 in the fifth set. The No. 2-seed ultimately ran away with the match, closing out the deciding set 6\u20132 after four hours to advance to his fifth Australian Open final and end Raonic's&amp;nbsp;undefeated season\u2014he was coming off a title in Brisbane earlier this month and beat No. 4-seed Stan Wawrinka&amp;nbsp;and Gael Monfils&amp;nbsp;en route to the semifinals. With the victory, Murray is now&amp;nbsp;11\u20132 in five-set matches since Wimbledon in 2009.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI'm in a much better state where I was 18 months ago when I was in my first semifinal of a Grand Slam,\u201D Raonic said after the match. \u201CSo I think I was giving myself chances and I was fighting hard. I was doing things right. It was just sort of how the story played out after.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CHe definitely slowed down in the fifth set for sure, which was unfortunate for him,\u201D Murray said. \u201CIt would have been nice to have played more of a competitive fifth set.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday No. 2-seed Murray will look to win his maiden title in Melbourne against No. 1-seed&amp;nbsp;Djokovic in a rematch of last year\u2019s title match.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CA lot of things are important when you\u2019re playing against the best players in the world,\u201D Murray said in his on-court interview. \u201CWe\u2019ve played a bunch of times here\u2026Hopefully this time it will be a different result.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Snapshots from Murray vs. Raonic&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This post will be updated.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
