Serbian young gun Novak Djokovic ended defending champion Roger Federer's record run of 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals to power into the Australian Open decider on Friday.

Third-seeded Djokovic confirmed his status as Federer's heir apparent with a tense 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) win in two hours 28 minutes to set up an intriguing final on Sunday against unseeded French sensation Jo-Wilfred Tsonga.

The young Serb was speechless at first but later Djokovic said “It's amazing, an indescribable feeling to beat the number one player of the world, probably one of the best players this sport has ever had, in straight sets, I'm just so amazed at how well I coped with the pressure, in the most important moments I played my best tennis."

The Swiss champ didn’t know what had happened he could only say that "He made the more important points today. It was a bit unfortunate for me, but he did play well and served really well when he had to,"

Federer came under increasing pressure in the second set and went down a break in the fourth game when Djokovic came up with a super running backhand to pick up a sliced volley for a winner. Djokovic pumped his chest in triumph on snaring the point and the break.

The Swiss again fell behind two break points in his next service game and Djokovic claimed it with a cracking forehand on the line to lead 5-1. But Federer broke back with a floating backhand return on his third break point.

Djokovic was put under pressure as he attempted to serve out for the second set and won a tense service game with an ace.

He fought his way out of three break points in his opening service game of the final set and put Federer under renewed pressure with four break points in the third but the Swiss grimly held on.

The third set went into a tiebreaker and despite falling behind a mini-break, the Serb clinched it on his first match point for a career-defining victory.

He celebrated his victory in style by ripping his shirt off any waving to the crowds anyone who saw the game will surely accept the fact that the Serb deserved to win. Hats off to u mate!
