Djokovic beats Federer in the 2016 Australian Open semifinals

In a virtuoso display of 'lights-out' hard court tennis, Novak Djokovic conceded just four games as he blitzed into a two-set lead in less than an hour against four-time champion Roger Federer on Rod Laver Arena.

Federer, who reached the semifinals having conceded just a set in five matches, looked dazed by the Serbian's onslaught, but improved considerably in the third set. The Swiss momentarily stalled Djokovic's momentum by riding a single break of serve to force a fourth set.

But the Serbian was soon back to his marauding best as he won the fourth set 6-3 to romp into a sixth Australian Open title match.

Two days later, Djokovic beat Murray for the fourth time in an Australian Open final to celebrate a sixth Australian Open title and an 11th Grand Slam crown.
