Novak Djokovic could not hide his happiness after reaching his eleventh Grand Slam final by defeating the reigning champion, Italian Jannik Sinner, in five sets, and recalled on the court the epic match he played in 2012 against Rafael Nadal, also in Melbourne, considered one of the best in history. "I have no words right now. He has won the last five matches against me," Djokovic recalled, who resisted and achieved success against the world number two. He had words for Sinner, against whom he had recently lost. "God will decide," Djokovic concluded. Djokovic: "It made me think of Rafa (Nadal) in 2012." "I saw Carlos after the match and he apologized for delaying my match, and I told him I'm an old man and I have to go to bed early," he joked. "I feel like I've already won, thanks to tonight's match. I thanked him on the court for letting me win at least one... And I have to come back in a few days and fight against the world number one, I hope I have enough strength to face him on Sunday. The quality of tennis was very high. I cannot thank everyone enough, you have been incredible. Jokes aside, he deserves a round of applause."
