Novak Djokovic believes that his five-set win over Andy Murray this afternoon was one of the best matches that he has ever played in.

World number one Novak Djokovic has described his five-set semi-final win at the Australian Open earlier today as "one of the best matches I've played in".

The Serbian looked to be heading for a comfortable fifth-set victory when he raced into a 5-2 lead. However, Murray hit back to level up the scores, before Djokovic regained his composure to wrap up the victory 6-3 3-6 6-7 6-1 7-5.

"I was just trying to focus on every point," he said in a post-match interview. "Andy deserves the credit after being 2-5 down to fight back. There's not much feeling to describe the match just the result.

"I think it was a physical match it was almost five hours and it was one of the best matches I've played in."

Djokovic will now defend his crown against Rafael Nadal on Sunday.
