Brilliant Djokovic one step away to win Australian Open

Brilliant Novak Djokovic  is just one win away as he beat injury-hit rival Roger Federer in the Australian Open Semi Final.

As per details, Brilliant Djokovic moved a step closer to retaining the Australian Open title with a straight-set semi-final win over Roger Federer.

Serbia’s Djokovic was 4-1 and 40-0 down in the opening set before recovering to win the tie-break.

That laid the platform for the 32-year-old second seed to go on and win 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-3.

He has now won 42 of his past 44 matches at Grand Slam championships.

Djokovic, aiming for a 17th Grand Slam title, will face Dominic Thiem or Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final.

“The match could have definitely gone a different way if he had used those break points [in the sixth game],” Djokovic said.

“He started well – I was nervous.

“Respect to Roger for coming out tonight.

He was obviously hurt and wasn’t close to his best in terms of movement.”

“It could have definitely gone a different way, if he’d used those break points,” Djokovic told former World No. 1 and two-time former Australian Open winner Jim Courier in an on-court interview. “He got off to a good start and I was pretty nervous at the beginning.

Victory would mean a record-extending eighth Australian Open triumph for Djokovic, who has lost just three matches at Melbourne Park in the past 10 tournaments.

It would also move him within three of 38-year-old’s Federer’s all-time record of 20 men’s Grand Slam singles titles and within two of Spain’s Rafael Nadal, who lost to Thiem in Wednesday’s quarter-final.
