Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer 7-6, 6-3, 6-3 to set up the final clash with Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka.
In what appears to be one of the biggest clashes in the ongoing Australian Open, old foes Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will be up in arms against each other in the tournament's semifinal.
The Swiss all-time Grand Slam champion has not beaten Nadal in five Slam encounters since his 2007 Wimbledon final triumph, in a period of dominance by the Spanish world number one.
But a combination of Federer`s resurgence under Swedish mentor Stefan Edberg, and Nadal`s blister-induced weakened serve, has thrown open the outcome of Friday`s blockbuster semi-final.
