Melbourne:

Milos Raonic has set another first for Canadian men in tennis by reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open.

No. 13-seeded Raonic had a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over No. 23 Gael Monfils of France in the quarterfinals on Wednesday night to reach the final four. He'll play four-time finalist Andy Murray for a spot in the final.

In his only previous run to a Grand Slam semifinal, he lost to Federer at Wimbledon in 2014.

Raonic beat Federer in the final of the Brisbane International leading into the Australian Open earlier this month and is on a career-best nine-match winning streak. He matches up well against No. 2-ranked Murray - they're 3-3 in head-to-heads.
