Novak Djokovic Resists ‘Suffocating’ Andrey Rublev To Book Grigor Dimitrov Title Clash | Tennis News

[ad_1] Novak Djokovic rallied to defeat Andrey Rublev 5-7, 7-6 (7/3), 7-5 in a gripping Paris Masters semi-final on Saturday, earning a shot at a record-extending seventh title in the final against Grigor Dimitrov.

It has been a funny road of late, but each win means more and more to me."Dimitrov broke Tsitsipas in the Greek's opening service game and rolled into a 4-1 lead. Tsitsipas resisted two set points...
