Overview
World No 1 Novak Djokovic maintained his record of never having lost to Gael Monfils as he beat the Frenchman in straight sets to book a place in the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris.
The defending champion is set to face British No 1 Andy Murray for a place in the last four. Djokovic will be keen to defend his title as he is in a race with Roger Federer to end the year as World No 1. If the Swiss ace wins the title in Paris, he could overtake Djokovic to finish the year as the top men's singles player.
Djokovic has faced Murray three times this season and has beaten him on all three occasions, the latest being at the China Open in Beijing.
Meanwhile, Murray booked himself a place in the season ending ATP World Tour Finals in London with a straight sets victory over Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
The Briton, who has played non-stop for the last six weeks, will be keen to add to the three titles he picked up at Shenzhen, Vienna and Valencia this season.
However, the British No 1 does not have a great record against Djokovic having failed to beat him since his last triumph over the Serbian at the Wimbledon finals in 2013.
The winner of this match will face the winner of the match between No 4 seed David Ferrer and No 6 seed Kei Nishikori in the semi-finals.
