If Rafael Nadal's Australian Open semifinal win over Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas was one-sided, Novak Djokovic showed he could be even more brutal in his victory against Lucas Pouille on Friday.

Nadal only needed 1 hour and 46 minutes to wrap up his victory on Thursday, while giving away just six games against the 20-year-old Tsitsipas.

The Spaniard's dominance over an opponent who had turned heads at Melbourne Park with his daredevil approach was remarkable and meant Djokovic had a point to prove when he took to the court against Pouille.
