Novak Djokovic is in the semi-finals of the Australian Open - at one point, after two sets he won, he was up 2-0 against Russia's Andrey Rublev.

How superior the Serb was compared to his rival was best seen in the fact that at certain moments the strong wind that was blowing represented a bigger problem than Rublev himself.

That's pretty much what this David vs. Goliath match looked like from the start.

In one exchange, Novak felt the "heavenly forces" disrupting his plans, a sudden rush of air caused him to make a mistake, so he roared in anger.

"What is this, what is this!," Nole shouted in Serbian as he looked up, annoyed because he thought he had that point "in the bag."

But neither the wind nor Rublev could do anything against the dominant Djokovic, no one can do anything against him in Melbourne, they can't even graze him.

The king of tennis is on an unstoppable run towards his tenth Australian Open title.
