Jo-Wilfried Tsonga dumped Novak Djokovic out of the Australian Open after winning a see-saw quarter-final in five sets in Melbourne.

After losing a first-set tie-breaker, Djokvic then reversed the game and went a set up, but looked to be suffering from illness and after taking an injury time out his game collapsed, allowing Tsonga back in.

The French former Australian Open finalist took full advantage to book his place in the semi-finals, where he will face Roger Federer, with a 7-6 6-7 1-6 6-3 6-1 victory.

Djokovic beat Tsonga in the 2008 final to win the first grand slam of the year, but the number three seed lost his chance of a repeat performance after illness struck after winning the third set.

Tsonga eventually won an entertaining opening set after a marathon 10-8 tie-breaker, but number three seed Djokovic answered back by taking a much more clinical breaker in the second.
