Novak advanced into a record-extending 60th Masters 1000 final after a dominant 6-2, 6-3 victory over 14th seed Grigor Dimitrov. He faces rising star Jakub Mensik (CZE, ATP no.54) on Sunday in attempt to capture his 100th tour-level title.
Nole was struggling with hamstring injury and looked in discomfort throughout his third round clash against Grigor Dimitrov, but he dug deep to overcome the 27th seed 7-6 (7), 6-3, 6-4 in three hours and seven minutes.
