World number one Novak Djokovic has set up a final meeting with Rafael Nadal after edging past Stefanos Tsitsipas in a semi-final 5 setter.

Djokovic got off to a good start as he claimed the opener 6-3 before pacing it up in the 2nd with a 6-2 win; but he lost his momentum afterwards, giving Tsitsipas some hope of reaching the final showdown as the Greek broke Djokovic 4 times in the 3rd and 4th sets, winning them 7-5 and 6-4 respectively to level the match. However, the Serbian found his rhythm again in the decider, dismantling his opponent 6-1 to advance to his fifth final after three hours and 54 minutes.
