This is truly the biggest shock at this year's Australian Open. It's even more shocking to know that this is only the third time in Wawrinka's career that he has defeated Djokovic after 18 times the two players have met.

Since 2007, that is, 7 years, the Swiss tennis player has suffered 14 consecutive defeats. The last time he lost to Nole was in the 4th round of the 2013 US Open. In that match, Djokovic had to spend 5 hours and 2 minutes to defeat Wawrinka after a match that was dramatic enough to see just by looking at the score 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 12-10.

With what has happened and with the current form of the two players, many people think that Nole will not have too much difficulty winning another victory, especially when he is in extremely impressive form and determined to make a "poker" of the Australian Open title.

Djokovic's superiority was quickly proven when he had an extremely easy first set, winning 2 breaks to have a 6-2 victory over Stanislas Wawrinka.

However, the next two sets belonged to Stanislas Wawrinka. The Swiss player gave the champion a hard time, before winning the second and third sets 6-4 and 6-2 respectively.

In set 4, the tournament's number 8 seed did not play too badly. There was even a game where he led 40-0. But with his own spirit, Nole successfully turned the tables, breaking to win 6-4.

This result forced Stanislas Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic to enter set 5, a decisive set and there will be no tie-break (if the score is 6-6, the winning player will have to create a difference of 2 points).

Entering the deciding set, the match was extremely exciting and dramatic. Nole had an early break but Stanislas Wawrinka was also very quick to regain it. The balance was pushed up as the two players fought for each point.

With the score at 5-5 and Wawrinka leading 40-0, the match was suspended due to rain. However, when he returned, the Swiss player quickly won a direct point to make it 6-5 and stand on the threshold of a ticket to the semi-finals.

In game 12, Djokovic did not lose any points on his serve to tie the score at 6-6 in set 5.

The balance continued in the next two games and the score was raised to 7-7. However, that was all Nole could do in this match.

In the remaining two games, Wawrinka played well. He held his serve and broke when Djokovic hit the ball out on the decisive shot, accepting the final loss 9-7.

With a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6 and 9-7 victory after 4 hours and 1 minute, Stanislas Wawrinka has officially entered the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2014. His next opponent will be Tomas Berdych, who had a 6-1, 6-4, 2-6 and 6-4 victory over world number 3 David Ferrer.

As for Novak Djokovic, this defeat is truly regrettable for him, making his dream of winning the Australian Open "poker" title impossible to come true./.
