DJOKOVIC'S DOMINANCE IN THE FINAL TWO ROUNDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN

DJOKOVIC'S DOMINANCE IN THE FINAL TWO ROUNDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Once Novak Djokovic reaches the semi-finals of the Australian Open, he has proven himself tougher than ever.

After defeating six-time champion Roger Federer in Thursday evening’s semi-final, the Serbian is now 15-0 once he reaches the last four at the season’s first Grand Slam. On Sunday, he will have a chance to lift his eighth trophy in Melbourne, extending his own all-time record.

“I feel comfortable and confident playing in Australia,” Djokovic said after his first-round win against Tatsuma Ito.

Not only has Djokovic won in the late stages of the Australian Open, but he has dominated. The World No. 2, who will return to No. 1 on Monday if he captures the title, has only lost 10 sets in his 15 matches from the semi-finals on Down Under. What is perhaps more impressive is who he beat in those clashes.

Djokovic has only lost five sets in seven finals at the Australian Open, with three of his championship triumphs coming in straight sets. The 32-year-old has a chance to make even more history on Sunday, when he faces Dominic Thiem or Alexander Zverev.
