Djokovic tops Paul; faces Tsitsipas in Australian Open final
MELBOURNE, Australia — (AP) — Of all of his considerable talents, Novak Djokovic's ability to cast aside whatever appears to stand in his way might be the most valuable. So forget about the potential distraction of his father's decision to stay away from Rod Laver Arena for Djokovic's semifinal against unseeded American Tommy Paul at the Australian Open on Friday after getting caught up in a flap over being seen with a group waving banned Russian flags at the tournament.

Forget about the brief back-and-forth with the chair umpire.
