Wawrinka reaches maiden Oz Open final

NEW DELHI: World No. 8 Stanislas Wawrinka moved one step closer to winning his maiden Grand Slam when he beat Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 in their Australian Open semifinal match at Melbourne Park on Thursday.

Wawrinka, who sent the tennis world into a spin when he dumped the three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic out in the quarterfinals, got the better of the Czech seventh seed Berdych in a little close to 4 hours.

After winning the first set 6-3 comfortably in just 31 minutes, Wawrinka lost the second set in a tiresome tie-break before winning his own tie-breaks in the third and fourth sets to secure his maiden Grand Slam final appearance.

The calm Swiss with the rapier one-handed backhand will now try to be mentally prepared to handle the challenge of either World No. 1 Rafael Nadal or 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer in the final on Sunday.
