What Happened?

More pristine conditions on Friday in Melbourne, with temperatures in the 70s throughout the day.

• Top-seeded Roger Federer looked invincible during a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 destruction of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the second men's semifinal -- the lone singles match of the day. Federer conceded just 15 points in 13 service games during the 88-minute masterclass. The 28-year-old Swiss, who's made 18 of the past 19 Grand Slam finals, faces Andy Murray in the men's final on Sunday (3:30 a.m. ET, ESPN2).

• The second-seeded team of Venus and Serena Williams captured a fourth Australian Open women's doubles title with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over top-seeded Cara Black and Liezel Huber. The Williams sisters have collected four of the past six Grand Slam doubles titles, running their career haul to 11 in total. (You can only wonder how many they'd have if they'd played doubles for their entire careers.)
