Novak Djokovic overcame fatigue and a spirited challenge to beat Andy Murray 6-3 3-6 6-7(4) 6-1 7-5 in an epic Australian Open semi-final lasting nearly five hours. World number one Djokovic will face second seed Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s final, after the Spaniard beat Roger Federer in the first semi-final. Having looked beaten at two sets to one, the defending champion capitalised on a poor fourth set from Murray, before also surviving a final set fightback from the Brit who found himself 5-2 down. But in the end the four-times Grand Slam champion had too much for Murray and sealed victory after four hours and 50 minutes; collapsing on to the court when Murray hit a running forehand into the net.
