MELBOURNE, Australia — Novak Djokovic continued his run of Grand Slam success against Roger Federer, and this time there was little suspense.

In the Wimbledon final last year, Djokovic had to save two match points and fend off attack after attack in the fifth set before prevailing in one of the best matches of the 2010s.

But Djokovic did not drop a set in the semifinals of the Australian Open on Thursday night, securing a spot in the final with a 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-3 victory over Federer.
