Djokovic reach Australian Open semis

Melbourne, Jan 28 (IBNS): Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic defeated Milos Raonic to cruise to the semi-final of the Australian Open men's singles event here on Wednesday.

Djokovic defeated his Canadian opponent 7-6(5) 6-4 6-2.

The match lasted for two hours.

The victory set the stage for a much awaited encounter between Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka.


“From the first game till the last, I played the way I wanted,” Djokovic was quoted as saying by ausopen.com.

“I created a lot of breakpoint opportunities. The key of tonight's match, one of the keys, was to get as many balls back in play, returns back in play. I thought from the back of the court I had more chance than him to win the points. I executed very, very well," he said.

“It's easier said than done, but I feel very good about my game in this moment," he said.
