On Saturday, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic advanced to his 50th ATP Masters 1000 final after fending off Grigor Dimitrov, 7-6 (5), 6-4, at the Rolex Paris Masters in Paris.

Djokovic extended his dominance against Dimitrov to 9-1. He has now beaten the Bulgarian seven straight times.

Bidding for his 34th Masters 1000 crown, Djokovic will either play Denis Shapovalov, who advanced after world No. 2 Rafael Nadal pulled out moments before the start of the match with an abdominal injury. Djokovic is 3-0 against the 20-year-old Canadian.
