Novak Djokovic easily defeated Lorenzo Musetti raising his confidence level even higher in Paris ahead of the semi-finals.
Novak Djokovic has been superb over the years in Paris and he's only two matches away from winning it for the 7th time. It would be a new record for this event; he last won it last year. The semi-final beatdown of Musetti certainly proved that he's in top form but he cautioned after the match that everyone is beatable:
"No one is unbeatable, but I've had plenty of success on this court and I think every single year that I come back, the confidence level is higher. I just like the conditions, even though they are different from last year. I think I adjusted very well. Right from the start I was really playing my best tennis in the first match and I continued doing that. Hopefully I will not derail myself and will keep going in the same direction."
Up next is Stefanos Tsitsipas, a player whom he defeated a couple of times including this year, Their most recent clash came in the Astana Open final:
"i need to show the same consistency. I have weapons that I can use. But in the past I feel I have used too much spin or power. It’s important that I stay at a medium level and not overdo it. It will be a physical match and I will need to move well.”
