Djokovic, Nadal set to continue clash of the titans Down Under

MELBOURNE - With every loud squeak of his blue-hued shoes, Novak Djokovic put himself in perfect position to control a point - and step closer to a record seventh Australian Open championship.

Djokovic was downright flawless from the outset of his semifinal against an overmatched No 28 Lucas Pouille and never relented en route to a 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 victory in less than 90 minutes on Friday night.

Of all the ways Djokovic dominated, perhaps most impressive was that he made an unheard-of total of just five unforced errors. And that's despite risking enough to produce 24 winners.
