(CNN) -- Third seed Andy Murray will play world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the final of the Australian Open after overcoming Roger Federer in a tense five-set semifinal on Friday.
Sunday will see a repeat of the 2011 final, with Murray looking to avenge his defeat to Djokovic after beating 17-time grand slam winner Federer 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-2.
Murray will be looking to finally capture the Melbourne title having twice been runner-up at the year's first grand slam.
World No. 3 Federer was hoping to become the first man in the post-1968 Open era to win the Australian Open on five occasions. It was the first time Murray had beaten Federer at a grand slam.
