Novak Djokovic beats Tomas Berdych to reach semi-finals

Novak Djokovic returned to action 48 hours after playing a five-hour epic to beat fifth seed Tomas Berdych in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
The defending champion and world number one came through 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-4 in two hours and 31 minutes on the Rod Laver Arena, and then said: "I felt good enough to go another five hours."
He added: "People who don't know tennis, who have never been in those kinds of situations, would not truly understand what the player has to go through - not just when you prepare for a Grand Slam, but also during a Grand Slam.
"After five hours of a match, you need to really put a lot of time into recovery, different kind of recoveries.
"I understand that many people have many different views and opinions, and I respect that. But I'm doing everything that is legal, that is correct, that is natural that I can, possibly can in my power, and it's working well."
After watching Djokovic spend five hours and two minutes seeing off Stanislas Wawrinka in round four, Berdych presumably planned to get the world number one on the run from the outset.

The Serbian was having none of it. Moving as freely as ever, he rattled through the first set in 28 minutes.
A heavy cross-court forehand and a measured backhand down the line made the breakthrough in game three and a compliant Berdych gave up the set with a double fault.
