Novak Djokovic advanced to the last four at the Australian Open on Wednesday with a clinical straight sets destruction of the fifth seed Andrey Rublev.
Djokovic, hunting a record-extending 10th title at the tournament, won 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in two hours on Rod Laver Arena to reach a showdown with the unseeded American Tommy Paul who progressed to his first semi-final at a Grand Slam competition with a four-set win over his compatriot Ben Shelton.
