4th seed Novak Djokovic breezed past USA's Tommy Paul in the Australian Open semi-finals 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 on Friday.
He has now staged an ultimate showdown with Stefanos Tsitsipas where the winner will be crowned as the new world number 1 in men's singles tennis. If Djokovic wins the final, it will be his 10th Australian Open title.
It may be a straight sets victory but Paul too had his moments of joy when he came back from 1-5 down to level the 1st set 5-5. But it was shortlived as Djokovic didn't let the unseeded youngster enjoy his moment.
Djokovic is now just 1 win away from equalling Rafael Nadal's tally of 22 Grand Slams, the most in men's professional tennis.
