World No 1 wins 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) over 38-year-old Serb
Italian is on course for third Grand Slam title in a row
Regardless of the tricky surface beneath his feet, the disruptive swirling wind inside Court Philippe-Chatrier or the intimidating résumé of the adversary before him, Jannik Sinner keeps on going. The world No 1 continued to demonstrate his superiority over all challengers at Roland Garros as he closed out a supremely clutch performance against Novak Djokovic, the sixth seed, with a 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) win to reach the final of the French Open for the first time in his career.
Over the past 10 months, Sinner has established a period of total dominance at grand slam tournaments. He has now won 20 straight matches at major tournaments and on Sunday he will attempt to win his third straight major title.
Sinner is the fifth man this century to reach three consecutive grand slam finals, following in the path of the four legendary players before him: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray. He has still not dropped a set in Paris this year.
