Novak Djokovic beats Aslan Karatsev to reach ninth Australian Open final
Novak Djokovic has reached his ninth Australian Open final, ending the fairytale run of Russian Aslan Karatsev in the process.
Djokovic won 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 against Karatsev, who reached the semi-finals in his maiden outing in the main draw of a grand slam tournament after going through qualifying.
Despite his impressive form, the world number 114 was no match for Djokovic, who is aiming to extend his perfect run in Australian Open finals and win his 18th major overall.
If Djokovic wins the final on Sunday night, when he will play fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas or sixth seed Daniil Medvedev, it will be the Serb’s third straight Australian Open title.
More to come.
