Djokovic reaches Paris semis

Novak Djokovic stayed on course for a sixth Paris Masters title with 6-4, 6-3 win over American Taylor Fritz while world number two Daniil Medvedev tamed home crowd favourite Hugo Gaston 7-6(7), 6-4 to reach the semi-finals on Friday.

Alexander Zverev made sure three of the world's top four will compete in the last four after he toppled Casper Ruud 7-5 6-4 while Poland's Hubert Hurkacz dug deep to beat Australian James Duckworth 6-2 6-7(4) 7-5.

On Saturday Djokovic will meet Hurkacz while Medvedev will lock horns with Zverev in a mouth-watering clash for berths in Sunday's final.
