Lucas Pouille has reached the Australian Open semifinals for the first time with a 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4 win over 16th-seeded Milos Raonic.
Pouille entered the quarterfinal 0-3 against Raonic in career meetings including a first-rounder in Melbourne in 2016.
The No. 28-seeded Pouille had break points in the seventh and ninth games of the third set but Raonic saved and, after an outburst against the chair umpire in the 12th game, dominated the tiebreaker.
He will next play either six-time Australian titlist Novak Djokovic or eighth-seeded Kei Nishikori.
