That drought will continue for now, because even though Djokovic was not at his best in the opening set, he was good enough at the end of it, breaking in the last game, and never relented. In the first game, Djokovic flubbed an overhead, a weakness he’s never solved. Djokovic got broken when serving for the set there. The serving was so-so. The 25-year-old was born in New Jersey and grew up in North Carolina, playing tennis at a club where the walls were festooned with posters of Andy Roddick — the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles title, way back at the 2003 U.S. The shotmaking was subpar. Open and two at the French Open, Djokovic would equal Nadal for the most Grand Slam trophies earned by a man. Djokovic is now a perfect 19-0 over the last two rounds in Melbourne, and his nine triumphs there already are a men’s record. There was a pause in that string of victories a year ago, of course, when Djokovic was deported from Australia before competition began because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19. And so, not surprisingly, he overcame some shaky play in the early going and took over the match, beating Paul 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 to close in on a 10th Australian Open championship and 22nd Grand Slam title overall. 1 in the ATP rankings. Forget about how Djokovic produced twice as many unforced errors, 24, as winners, 12, in the opening set.

Friday is men's semi-final day in Melbourne and the favourite is squaring off with the American outsider. Join Luke McLaughlin.

But Paul is facing the nine-times champion on his favourite court, the venue at which he has achieved the most success. At advantage to the American, Djokovic hits wide, and Paul has broken back! At 30-30 there is another fantastic rally but the Serb gets it done this time and has a chance to get the double break … This is a very commendable comeback from the world No 35, who looked to be completely out of the running in this first set when he was a double break down and Djokovic was serving for it. Paul stays patient – he is really warming up and seeing the ball well – and simply wears Djokovic down. Paul holds to -15, clinching it with an accomplished volley after a rare foray to the net. He soon has set point, and much like Paul a few moments ago, grinds his opponent down from the baseline in another lengthy rally. Djokovic is forced to deuce as Paul refuses to go down without a fight. Paul holds to -15 and strolls off for a drink. Djokovic is tennis royalty, and there is a distinctly superior air to his game now. A crowd-pleasing point to begin, Paul managing to defend and keep the rally going in unlikely fashion. Paul is feeling upbeat at 40-15, but Djokovic’s punishing return, a clean winner, reminds him of the task at hand.
