Novak Djokovic cruises into Paris Masters final

Novak Djokovic has secured a place in tomorrow's Paris Masters final after brushing Kei Nishikori aside 6-2 6-3 in their semi-final this evening.

The world number one, who is the defending champion at this event, needed just over an hour to beat the Japanese player, who knocked him out in the US Open last four earlier this year.

Djokovic got a break on the board early in the first set as he raced to a 4-1 lead before comfortably holding serve to clinch the opener a couple of games later.

The Serbian was too strong again at the start of the second as he broke Nishikori again, and never looked like slipping out of the lead as he eased into the final.

Djokovic will take on Milos Raonic, who needs to win this tournament in order to guarantee his spot at the ATP Tour Finals, in tomorrow's showdown.
