Australian Open: Wawrinka reached into first Grand Slam final

Melbourne: Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka reached his first Grand Slam final after edging out Tomas Berdych in four tight sets at the Australian Open.
The eighth seed beat the Czech 6-3, 6-7 (1/7), 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/4) in three hours 31 minutes and will play either Rafael Nadal or fellow Swiss Roger Federer in Sunday’s final.
“I’ve been working really hard for many years, trying to improve my game, trying to get some big matches in a big stadium. Now I’m in the first final in a Grand Slam, so I can be only really happy.”
“I’m enjoying more what I’m doing, when I’m winning, and also maybe I know more how to deal with all the pressure.”

Wawrinka didn’t lose serve and only had one break point against him as big-serving Berdych dished up seven double-faults with three of them, crucially, in the third and fourth set tiebreakers.
