World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will face Stan Wawrinka in the Australian Open semi-finals after defeating Milos Raonic in straight sets on Wednesday night in Melbourne.

Fans will be hoping for another epic as Djokovic and Wawrinka meet for the third year in a row at Melbourne Park. Two years ago, Djokovic denied Wawrinka 12-10 in the fifth set of their fourth-round clash, but last year the Swiss got his revenge with a 9-7 fifth set victory in the quarter-finals.

"I take a lot of confidence [into the match]," said Djokovic. "I try to carry that in every next match, next challenge. Obviously I'm going to play Stan, who is the defending champion here. We played five-set matches at the 2013 and '14 Australian Opens. I'm going to be ready for a fight. But knowing that I have raised the level of performance tonight, and probably playing the best match of the tournament so far is affecting my confidence in a positive way. Hopefully I can carry that into next one."
