Novak Djokovic has advanced to his sixth Australian Open final after beating Roger Federer 6-1 6-2 3-6 6-3 in their semifinal at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday night.

The top seed and defending champion tore through the first two sets in just 54 minutes with some scintillating tennis, and after Federer rallied in a high-quality third set, pushed clear in the fourth to make the decider in Melbourne for the fifth time in the past six years.

The victory saw Djokovic edge ahead of Federer for the first time in their head-to-head rivalry, the Serb winning 23 of their 45 career matches.

The world No.1 will look to win a sixth Australian Open crown against Andy Murray or Milos Raonic, who face off in a semifinal on Friday night.
