Canada's Milos Raonic has won a third-set tiebreaker 7-6 (4) and leads by two sets to one in his Australian Open semifinal against Andy Murray.
Murray, a four-time losing finalist at Melbourne Park, won the second set 7-5 after Raonic took the first 6-4.
Raonic took a 5-2 lead in the tiebreaker, allowed Murray to close to 5-4 before winning the final two points on a Murray error into the net and an ace.
The winner will face five-time champion Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., is trying to become the first man representing Canada to reach a Grand Slam singles final.
Canadian-born Greg Rusedski played in the 1997 U.S. Open title match, but by that time he was identifying himself as British.
