Novak beat Lucas Pouille 6-1 6-2 and reached the semi finals in Tokyo.

Novak: “It was definitely one of the best matches I’ve played this year. Best one of this week and it came at the right time. Lucas was playing really well the first couple of matches in this tournament. I saw him play a couple of days ago against Nishioka and he was playing really well. I took away the time from him. I served well, served many aces, returned a lot of his serves back and just used every opportunity to come in. Just overall, a really flawless performance.”

Novak beat Lucas Pouille 6-0 6-2 6-2 and reached the Australian Open final for the seventh time.

He definitely has the quality to be a top 10 player. It was his first semifinal, and the occasion is different, there’s more weight in the match. He’s going to get more of these types of matches in the late stages of Grand Slams.”
