Novak Djokovic will face Andy Murray in the semi-final of the Dubai Championships after claiming a 6-1 7-6[6] victory over Janko Tipsarevic.
Djokovic took just 30 minutes to clinch the opening set, with his fellow countryman failing to make a significant impact.
The world number one powered through the early stages of the match, allowing Tipsarevic to claim just one game in the first set.
Despite an early surge, Djokovic dipped his form slightly and failed to break his 27-year-old opponent's serve in the first few games of the second set.
Tipsarevic failed to back down and managed to force the number one seed to a tie break.
Despite the tight affair, Djokovic just edged the contest to set up another semi-final clash with British number one Murray.
