The Scot lost the first set but bounced back to win the quarter-final tie 2-6 6-1 7-6 (7-0)

6-1.

He will now face Swiss third seed Stan Wawrinka in what will be Murray’s 21st Grand Slam semi-final.

The other last-four tie is between Rafa Nadal and Dominic Thiem, the shock winner over defending champion Novak Djokovic.

Murray beat Wawrinka in last year’s French Open semi before losing to Djokovic in the final.
