"I'm lost for words right now. It feels surreal to be honest. Playing over four hours, almost 2am. The level of intensity and the quality of tennis was extremely high. I knew that was the only way for me to have a chance to win tonight. He beat me the last five times. He had my mobile number so I had to change my number for tonight. I told him at the net thanks for allowing me at least one."
"It already feels like winning but I know I have to come back and fight the number one in the world in a couple of days. I just hope I'll have enough gas to stay toe-to-toe with him."
Novak Djokovic overcame Jannik Sinner 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in a four-hour, nine-minute semi-final that finished after 1:30am local time. Djokovic became the oldest man in the Open Era to reach the Australian Open final and targets an 11th Melbourne Park title and a 25th Grand Slam. Carlos Alcaraz will meet Djokovic in the final after surviving a five-set match against Alexander Zverev while carrying an injury from the third set. Sinner, the previous two-time champion, could not match Djokovic's consistency. Djokovic had not played a five-setter since Roland-Garros 2024.
