Paris. Spanish player David Ferrer reached this Saturday the final of the Bercy Masters 1,000, which he won last year, after defeating his compatriot Rafael Nadal, world number one, by 6-3, 7-5, so he will face Serbian Novak Djokovic.
Visibly uncomfortable, the Mallorcan could not match the one from Javea, who showed that he feels at home on the covered Parisian court.
To retain the Bercy title, the only Masters 1,000 that appears in his showcases, Ferrer must beat a Djokovic that he has not defeated since 2011.
Precisely, the Serbian, world number two, came from behind to defeat Swiss Roger Federer and become the first finalist in Bercy, winning 4-6, 6-3, and 6-2 in just over two hours of play.
Nole, winner of the tournament in 2009, will try to add his second victory on the covered Parisian court against the winner of the other semifinal, which pits Spaniards Rafa Nadal and David Ferrer.
In addition to winning his sixth title of the year, the Serbian threatens Nadal's number one spot in the world rankings.
