MELBOURNE: Novak Djokovic’s unbeaten Slam streak in opposition to American opponents has hit double figures after withstanding an early onslaught from America’s Taylor Fritz to succeed in his eleventh Australian Open semifinal.

The ten-time champion recorded a 7-6(7-3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory over the twelfth seed American in three hours and 45 minutes, denying Fritz his first main semifinal look.

It marked his thirty second consecutive win in opposition to a US contender at tour stage and his tenth in a row at a serious relationship again to his Wimbledon 2016 defeat to Sam Querrey, in line with the Australian Open web site.

Djokovic received the opening set after saving two set factors at 5-6, however he missed out on his first 15 break factors in Rod Laver Enviornment and seemed in actual bother when his opponent snatched the second set behind an early break.

However that is Novak Djokovic on the Australian Open. The ten-time Melbourne champ cashed in on his two break possibilities in set three and shortly regained management of a extremely entertaining conflict. Fritz fought to the tip, however Djokovic’s second wind proved sufficient to blow him over.

By way of to his eleventh Australian Open semifinal, Djokovic awaits Jannik Sinner or Andrey Rublev for a Friday showdown after two days off.
