Djokovic will face Britain's Andy Murray in the final on August 3.

Nadal, who has to wait until August 18 to be declared World No.1, went into the semifinals suffering from blisters.

Australian Open champion Djokovic has defeated Nadal in four of their six matches on hardcourt.

By reaching the semifinals of the event, Nadal accumulated enough points to overtake Roger Federer of Switzerland as the world's No. 1 player; however, the title isn't yet Nadal's until point totals from the past 52 weeks are officially calculated on August 18.
