Roger Federer Wins Amazing Rally in Australian Open Semi Loss to Novak Djokovic

In undoubtedly the highlight of the Australian Open semi-final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, the Swiss third seed won an incredible rally during the fourth set.

Federer had fought back from two sets down to force a fourth, and trailing 30-15 in the eighth game, he produced a brilliant backhand winner after a nine-shot rally that had it all.

Unfortunately for the fan favourite in Melbourne, it didn't inspire a miracle comeback, with Federer bowing out 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.

Djokovic will face either Milos Raonic or Andy Murray in this weekend's final.
