Madrid Open: Novak Djokovic reaches final of competition
Djokovic is the favourite to strengthen his position at the top of the worlds rankings by claiming a third title in Madrid.
The Serbian was at his very best to record a straight-sets victory over Dominic Thiem yesterday.
However, Tsitsipas also enters the final in top form having knocked out the pre-tournament favourite Rafael Nadal.
The Greek ace also has a 100 per cent winning record over Djokovic, albeit they have only one previous meeting.

Nevertheless, Djokovic is wary of taking on the world No 9.
“He’s not an easy opponent to play against,” Djokovic said.
“He's in form and a young player who is already top 10 [in the ATP Rankings].
“Hopefully I can be at my best because that is what is going to be needed to win.”
