Djokovic outplays Nadal

November 16, 2009 - 0:0

Serbia's Novak Djokovic praised his ""perfect"" performance after outclassing world number two Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-3 to set up a Paris Masters final against local hope Gael Monfils on Saturday.

World number three Djokovic, who beat world number one Roger Federer in the Basel final last week, extended a brilliant run of form and will start favorite against Monfils, having won their three previous encounters.
Monfils, seeded 15th, thrilled the 14,000 fans packing the Bercy hall when he knocked out 13th Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-4 5-7 6-4 in the other semi-final, which was a lot tighter and could have gone either way.
