Switzerland's Roger Federer demolished Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 to reach the Australian Open semi-finals and move within two wins of a record-equalling 14th Grand Slam title yesterday.
Federer, a three-time champion here, completely outplayed the 20-year-old world number six to make his 19th consecutive Major semi, where he will meet old rival Andy Roddick.
"I didn't expect a result like this. This is not usual," Federer said.
"I don't think Juan Martin was at his very best tonight, otherwise it would have been much closer.
"When all of a sudden it clicks, it's a nice feeling. I tried out a few things and they all seemed to work.

He goes down and I go up the difference is huge sometimes," he added.
