DHAKA: Stanislas Wawrinka finished the sway by trouncing four-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic with a stunning quarter-final victory on Tuesday.

The Swiss eighth seed won 2-6 6-4 6-2 3-6 9-7 to set up a semi-final against Tomas Berdych, and gain revenge for an epic five-set defeat by Djokovic in the fourth round last year, reports the BBC.

It was the first loss for Djokovic under the guidance of new coach Boris Becker, and brings to an end a winning streak of 28 matches on tour - and 25 matches over three years in Melbourne.

A 15th consecutive Grand Slam semi-final had looked there for the taking when the Serb rolled through the first set thanks to some loose errors from Wawrinka in game six, but a moment of brilliance turned the match.

Wawrinka had reached his second major semi-final and ended an eight-year, 14-match losing streak against Djokovic.
