Juniors set up all-Aussie boys' final

Aussie duo Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have both won their boys' singles semi-finals at the Australian Open today to set up a final of local interest.

Third seed Kyrgios was in formidable form in his semi-final, thrashing Filippo Baldi 6-2 6-1 in just 41 minutes.

Kyrgios served 17 aces during the match and has not dropped a set during his run to the final at Melbourne Park.

Kokkinakis, 16, was equally impressive in his semi-final victory, beating 11th seed Borna Coric 6-3 6-2 in a contest full of long baseline exchanges.

The duo will confront each other in Saturday's all-Aussie final with Kyrgios enjoying an unbeaten record over Kokkinakis.
