Roger Federer continued his total domination of Andy Roddick with a 6-2 7-5 7-5 masterclass in the Australian Open semi-finals on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Federer extended his head-to-head record to 16-2 against Roddick and will now be aiming to equal Pete Sampras's record of 14 grand slam titles on Sunday.
Federer, who beat the American at the same stage in the 2007 tournament before going on to lift the title, will play either world number one Rafa Nadal or Fernando Verdasco in the final.
The Spanish pair play their semi-final on Friday.
Thursday's victory also meant Federer emulated Sampras by reaching 18 grand slam finals. The only person to beat Federer in a major final is Nadal, three at Roland Garros and once at Wimbledon.
