With this success he reached the absolute record of 26 matches unbeaten at Melbourne Park, where he will go for his tenth championship. In addition, if he succeeds, he will reach Rafael Nadal with 22 Grand Slam titles.
His opponent in the semifinals of the Australian Open will be the American tommy paul (35), who for the first time dueled against his compatriot Ben Shelton (89), only 20 years old, by 7-6 (6), 6-3, 5-7 and 6-4, in three hours and six minutes of play.
