The leader in the world ranking in tennis Novak Djokovic will be the opponent of the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the final of the tournament of the Masters 1000 series in Paris.

In the second semi-final in Paris last evening, the Serbian, who is a six-time champion in Paris-Bercy prevailed 5:7, 7:6(3), 7:5 over the Russian Andrey Rublev after exactly 3 hours of play.

This will be Dimitrov's second final in a Masters 1000 tournament.

So far, 32-year-old Dimitrov and 36-year-old Djokovic have played against each other 12 times, with the Serbian winning 11 of them. Two of those meetings were in Paris, and in both cases - in 2016 and in 2019 - the world No. 1 Djokovic was the winner.
