Novak Djokovic set up a final against Stefanos Tsitsipas after he stayed on course for a record-extending 10th Australian Open title in Melbourne on Friday.
The Serbian overcame a first-set wobble to defeat unheralded American Tommy Paul 7-5 6-1 6-2 to march into his 33rd Grand Slam final where he will be bidding to equal Rafael Nadal's record tally of 22 titles.
His 7-5 6-1 6-2 victory over American Paul looked straightforward on the scoreboard but it certainly did not feel that way when Djokovic lost four games in a row from 5-1 up in the opening set.
But he recovered to move in front and from there eased to the finishing line.
