Trae ThompsonJun 3, 2018

Any chances for a Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer final are definitely now gone at the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic (pictured) knocked out the defending champion Federer 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-4, and will now face the winner of today's semifinal between Andy Murray and David Ferrer. Djokovic's win also means that it will be the first time since 2003 that Federer will not be the reigning champ in any of the four majors.

The women's final has been set and will be between Kim Clijsters and Li Na, the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam championship final.

Here's a quick look at the tournament, with today's schedule, a preview of the men's semifinal and another newsworthy item:

Andy Murray could reach his straight Australian Open final with a win today over Ferrer, the No. 7 seed from Spain.

Murray and Ferrer (pictured) played last November in the finals at the ATP World Tour in London, with Murray winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. 

"I know a lot about him," Murray told BBC Sport. "He's a great player. He's been around a long time at the top of the game. He's very, very consistent, in great shape, moves very well, does everything well, so it's a very, very tough game to call."

Ferrer, who is coming off an upset over No.1 ranked Rafael Nadal, said he just "needs to fight a lot, like every match of my life."

"Andy's a different player to Rafa but I need to play very, very focused, to receive really good because Andy has a very good first serve," Ferrer told the BBC. "It's very important for me return very good in the match."

One finals match that could be quite entertaining will come in men's doubles.

The Bryans are the defending Australian Open doubles champions, but will face the doubles team that has been nicknamed "The Indian Express."

Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have reunited after splitting in the late 1990s and were once considered the heir apparent to the great doubles team of Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge. They're also coming off a heated semifinal in which officials had to separate them after their match from a confrontation with their opponents.
