Andy Murray did it to Novak Djokovic in the US Open final and he did it to Roger Federer here – physically and mentally breaking an opponent when it comes down to the cloying tension of a final set.
Just ahead of Burns Night the 25-year-old Scot outlasted and ultimately outfought the great Swiss to reach his third Australian Open final in four hours thanks to 6-4, 6-7, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 victory.
Despite playing two poor tiebreaks by his standards Murray was the clear and deserved winner, turning the fifth set into something of an anti-climax in an otherwise thrilling encounter on the Rod Laver Arena in the presence of the man after whom it is named.
He will face Djokovic on Sunday.
