Exhausted 'old man' Novak Djokovic, 38, beats Jannik Sinner to reach the Australian Open final - after clutching his chest, vomiting, struggling for breath and stripping off on-court


Novak Djokovic is one match away from a 25th Grand Slam title and an 11th Australian Open after producing perhaps the greatest performance of his career to defeat Jannik Sinner. To put this victory into perspective, a few facts: Sinner had won this title in the last two years. With Djokovic serving at 4-3, Sinner sent a barrage of groundstrokes at him to bring up three break points at 0-40. Sweat pouring off him, flirting with the shot-clock before every serve, Djokovic ticked those break points off one by one and then held. Djokovic missed two match points, the second a sitter of a forehand on top of the net, but he was not to be denied.
