Four-time champion Novak Djokovic is one match win away from clinching the Australian Open title for the fifth time.

The World No. 1 advanced to this year's championship match after he defeated fourth seed and defending champion Stan Wawrinka 7-6(1), 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 in three hours and 30 minutes on Friday night.

The Serb hit 27 winners to Wawrinka's 42, but the Swiss committed 69 unforced errors.
