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.
