NOVAK Djokovic sent an emphatic warning to Roger Federer and Andy Murray by destroying fourth seed David Ferrer 6-2 6-2 6-1 in the Australian Open semifinals yesterday.
Murray and Federer meet today and although they will be concentrating on each other they must surely have been impressed by the clinical demolition of Ferrer by the two-time defending champion.
"I was aware of David's qualities. I wanted to be aggressive on the court and this was definitely one of the best matches of my career," said the 25-year-old Djokovic who is seeking to become the first man to win three successive Australian Open titles. "It can only do positive things to my confidence. Definitely at this stage of a tournament, playing semifinals against the world No. 4, somebody that I have respect for, great competitor, and being able to perform as well as I did, it's incredible," the Serb added. "I have a great feeling about myself on the court at this moment. Now I have a two days off before the finals which gives me enough time to get ready and recover."
