adminChina’s Li Na. Djokovic, the world number one, floored Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in an embarrassingly one-sided contest which he rated as one of the best performances of his career.
“I just played incredible,” said the 25-year-old Serb, who will play either Roger Federer or Andy Murray in Sunday’s final.
“I don’t expect always to play this well but I was free in my mind tonight and I hope I can continue like this into the final.”
He added: “Today was my best performance, it came at the right moment and I hope I can play the same on Sunday.”
Djokovic was taken to five sets by a gritty Stanislas Wawrinka in the fourth round and he went four with Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals, and the tireless Ferrer was expected to pose another test in the semi-final.
But the ultra-fit Serb played almost flawless tennis, hitting 30 winners with just 16 unforced errors, and will be the strong favourite to complete the first Australian Open title hat-trick since the 1960s.
“I played incredible tennis and I felt very comfortable and very confident from the start,” Djokovic said.
“I wanted to be aggressive on the court but this is definitely one of the best performances I’ve ever had in my career.” — AFP.
