Overview
Novak Djokovic is in line to defend the Paris Masters title he won last year. The Serbian had a routine 6-2, 6-3 win over Japan Kei Nishikori in the semi-final and will now face Canadian Milos Raonic in the final.
Djokovic has been in supreme form this week and has not dropped a set on the way to final. With Federer losing in the quarter-finals, a victory should see him see off the Swiss ace to finish the year as the top men's singles player in the world.
If Djokovic beats his Canadian opponent, it will be his 600<sup>th career win and his 20<sup>th Masters Series title. It puts him fourth on the list of Masters Series winners, that is led by Rafael Nadal (27), Federer (23) and Ivan Lendl (22).
Meanwhile, Raonic comes into this match highly confident after putting in two clinical performances to make it to the final of the tournament.
The Canadian beat Roger Federer in the quarter-finals, to book a place in the season ending ATP World Tour Finals in London, and then came through a tough match against Thomas Berdych in the semi-finals to book a place in his second Masters Series finals after Toronto in 2013.
The Canadian World No 10 will hope to cause an upset and win his first Masters Series title. However, Djokovic will be keen to continue his good form ahead of the season ending Tour Finals in London and ensure he finishes the year as World No 1.
