World number one Novak Djokovic has reached his third French Open final with a five-set victory over his British opponent Andy Murray here on Saturday.
The Serbian required two days to defeat Murray 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 5-7, 6-1 as an incoming storm suspended the high-octane clash on Friday.
Resuming play at 3-3 in the fourth set, Murray continued his overnight momentum as he cruised his way to clinch the set before eventually going down in the deciding set.
Djokovic will be eyeing to become the eighth player in the history to complete the career Grand Slam when he will meet Stanislas Wawrinka in the summit clash on Sunday.
