Djokovic Defeats Murray to Reach Shanghai Masters Final

SHANGHAI — Novak Djokovic reached his 13th consecutive ATP Tour final with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Andy Murray at the Shanghai Masters on Saturday, one of his most lopsided victories ever over his rival.

Djokovic will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Sunday's final after the Frenchman upset Rafael Nadal 6-4, 0-6, 7-5 in the other semifinal.

The top-seeded Djokovic broke Murray five times and committed just seven unforced errors to 30 for the Scot.

"It's the best match of the tournament at the right time against a player who was in form and one of my biggest rivals," Djokovic said.
