The Latest: Raonic Wins 1st Set 6-4 v Murray in Semifinal

MELBOURNE, Australia — The Latest from the Australian Open on Friday (all times local):

8:20 p.m.

Milos Raonic broke Andy Murray's serve at love in the opening game and went on to win the first set of their Australian Open semifinal 6-4 on Friday.

Day-long rain at Melbourne Park subsided before the match began, allowing the roof to be open on Rod Laver Arena.

Raonic won the first set on his second set point when he challenged an out call on his serve, and replays showed to have hit most of the line.

Murray is trying to advance to the final at Melbourne Park for the fifth time — he's lost all four previous matches.
