22-year-old Spaniard wins 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2He is into his third successive grand slam finalBy the final stages of a tense second-set tie-break, Novak Djokovic had left no stone unturned as he tried to cling on. He attempted to serve and volley, he threw in drop shots and vainly tried to take the first strike from his opponent.

If the heavy favourites come away with a victory against Australia, they will extend their winning streak to 30 games.Their previous 30-match run ended in the 2022 World Cup final loss, which is the last time they were defeated.
