Vintage Novak Djokovic rolled back the years to dethrone two-time champion Jannik Sinner in a late-night five-set classic to set up an Australian Open showdown with Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic - four months before his 39th birthday - showed he remains unbeatable on his day by coming through a thrilling semi-final to end the reign of defending champion Sinner 3-6 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-4 in four hours and nine minutes, the epic ending just after 1.30am local time.
Eighteen years after his first Melbourne crown, Djokovic will now strive for a record-extending 11th, against Alcaraz, and the unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title that has eluded him.
