Novak Djokovic is one win away from a seventh Paris Masters title after facing Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the final.

Djokovic dropped a set for the first time this week to world number five Greece.

But the Serb still extended his winning streak against Tsitsipas to eight matches with a 6-2 3-6 7-6(4) win.

Djokovic will face young unseeded Dane Holger Rune, who beat Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 6-2 surprisingly comfortably, in Sunday’s final.

Meanwhile, world number one Carlos Alcaraz has announced he will miss the ATP Finals and Davis Cup through injury.

The 19-year-old US Open champion pulled out of the quarter-finals against Rune in Paris with an abdominal problem and has now ended his stellar season prematurely.

He wrote on Twitter: “After my retirement yesterday and being evaluated by my medical team, unfortunately here is the result of my injury: a tear in the internal oblique muscle of the left abdominal wall with an estimated recovery time of six weeks. .

“Unfortunately, I will not reach the ATP Finals or the Davis Cup Finals. It is difficult and painful for me to miss these two events that are so close to my heart, but all I can do, it’s being positive and focusing on my recovery. Thank you for your help!”
