For the first time ever, a Canadian man will play a singles semi final at the Australian Open.

Thornhill’s Milos Raonic advanced to his second Grand Slam final four early this morning with a 4 set win over France’s Gael Monfils.

Raonic made to the semis at Wimbledon in 2014.

Raonic, who is seeded 13th in Melbourne will face world number two, Britain’s Andy Murray in one semi-final Friday.  In the other semi, world number one Novak Djokovic faces world number 3 Roger Federer early tomorrow morning.
