Defending champion Novak Djokovic set up an Australian Open semi-final against Roger Federer after producing another clinical performance to beat Canadian 32nd seed Milos Raonic.
Djokovic had problems with his eye in the third set but dismantled Raonic’s potent serve to win 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7-1)
The Serb second seed, who is aiming for a record-extending eighth title, has lost just one set in Melbourne so far.
Djokovic, 32, will meet Swiss third seed Federer in Thursday’s semi-final.
It is the pair’s first meeting at the Australian Open since Djokovic beat 38-year-old Federer in their 2016 semi-final.
“He is one of the all-time greats and the match-ups against Roger and Rafa have made me the player I am today,” said Djokovic, who has lost just three times at Melbourne Park in the past decade.
“I hope I can get just one match point against him. Let the better player win.”
