Djokovic edges past Tsitsipas in Paris nailbiter (VIDEO)

Novak Djokovic has qualified for the Paris Masters final after a tense win against Stefanos Tsitsipas

Novak Djokovic continued his fine run of recent form to score a tense third-set tiebreak win against Greek rival Stefanos Tsitsipas to advance to Sunday’s Paris Masters final.

Djokovic, a six-time champion in the French capital, extended his current winning streak to an impressive 13 matches but was pushed to the limit by Tsitsipas, who overcame early adversity to storm to a second-set win – and could have taken the third but for a typically authoritative tie break win from the Serbian star.

He will play Danish teenager Holger Rune in Sunday afternoon’s final after he bested Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets in Saturday’s first semi-final.

Djokovic, who, like Tsitsipas, hadn’t dropped a set up to this point in the tournament, managed to break the Greek player’s serve twice in the opening set as Tsitsipas struggled to handle Djokovic’s serve the multiple-time Grand Slam winner showed his authority early to claim the first set in just over 30 minutes.

The point. The tension. The reaction.
