 Novak Djokovic vs. Andrei Rublev is the second semi-final for the men's Paris Masters for 2023. And both guys have been impressive to get to this stage. Rublev entered the tournament as the number 5 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on the qualified Nisyoka. But this is no problem getting through in straights. 6-4, 6-3. In the third round he take on another qualifier, Van Duzantul. Who had just taken out Tommy Paul in the previous round. But again, no problem for Rublev getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-3. In the quarter-finals, Rublev will take on Alex Dimino of the 13th seed. Who had just got a walk over against Yannick Sinner in the previous round. And after dropping the first set, Rublev would fight back to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 to advance to the semis. Djokovic entered the tournament as the number 1 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Etcheverry. There's no problem getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-2. In this third round he take on Grigsbor. Who had been having a pretty good week. And after dropping the first set, Djokovic would fight back to win 4-6, 7-6, 6-4 to get to the quarter-final. In the quarter-finals, Djokovic would take on the number 6 seed, Runa. Who is the defending champion having beaten Djokovic 12 months ago in the final here. And after dropping the second set, Djokovic would fight back to win 7-5, 6-7, 6-4 to advance to the semifinals. These two have played 5 times before with Djokovic leading the head to head 4-1. Including winning their last 3 matches, 2 this year and 1 on hard court. They also played at the Nido finals last year with Djokovic getting a straights win on the indoor courts. If Rublev is going to win this one, he needs to play aggressive and keep his cool. Now Djokovic has had a couple of matches now where it's been very very tight. So Rublev should take some confidence from that, be aggressive, see what Runa did, come to the net a bit and be unpredictable and maybe get Djokovic off guard. If Djokovic is going to win this one, he needs to get off to a better start than he has. He did alright against Runa, got off to a good start and then kind of let the second set go. He needs to get off to a good start and keep it. He can beat Rublev, we've seen it this year and he has to get off to a really good start and keep the momentum going into the next sets. This is such an interesting matchup because Djokovic seems a little off the last couple of matches and Rublev, he's been in great form lately but I've got to go with Djokovic in this one to win in three sets. I think Rublev might be able to sneak a set but I think Djokovic is going to take it in three and make the final but let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win?
