World number one Djokovic missed a match point in the second set but eventually claimed a 7-5, 6-7 (3/7), 6-4 win over Denmark's Rune in the quarterfinals after more than two-and-three-quarter hours on court at Bercy Arena.
PARIS -- Novak Djokovic edged out Holger Rune on Friday, Nov. 3, to avenge his defeat in last year's Paris Masters final and reach the last four, while Stefanos Tsitsipas set up a meeting with Grigor Dimitrov.
Djokovic, the record six-time champion, will face either Alex de Minaur or Andrey Rublev on Saturday for a place in his ninth Paris Masters final. "It was strange seeing Boris in the opposing box," added Djokovic."I wish Holger and him all the best."He saw a match point come and go on the Rune serve when leading 5-4 in the second set, before the 20-year-old went on to produce a series of brilliant points in a tie-break to force a decider.
Tsitsipas, who also reached the last four a year ago when he lost to Djokovic, has progressed to the same stage without dropping a set and produced an impressive variety of plays to counter Khachanov's baseline power."It feels good to have so much variety and so much diversity in the way you can play."
