Overview

Novak Djokovic continues to astound fans and experts with his tennis and will look to continue the same when he faces Japan's Kei Nishikori in the semi-final on 14 May (Saturday).

The Serb comes into this clash after beating rival Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final in what was their 49<sup>th encounter in ATP History. The defending champion is looking unbeatable at the moment and with five titles to his name in 2016 already, he is the favourite to add a sixth one to his kitty.

World number six Kei Nishikori too comes into this tie after an exhausting quarter-final clash against number 13 seed Dominic Thiem. The Japanese international hung on in tense moments, saving four out of five break points to win 6-3, 7-5 in a game that took one hour and 39 minutes.

Their most recent encounter at the semi-final of the Madrid Open saw Nishikori lose to Djokovic but if there is anyone who can beat the Serb right now, it has to be the 26-year-old.
