PARIS—Canada’s Denis Shapovalov advanced to the finals of the Paris Masters on Saturday when opponent Rafael Nadal withdrew with an injury before the match. Djokovic reached his sixth Paris Masters final with a 7-6 (5), 6-4 win Saturday against Grigor Dimitrov, beating him for the ninth time in their 10 career matches. Shapovalov, who won his first ATP title at the 250-level Stockholm Open last month, will compete in his first Masters 1000 final. Djokovic and Dimitrov won more than 80 per cent of first serve points in a tight opening set where neither faced a break point. Serving for the match, Djokovic held to love and clinched victory when Dimitrov sent a return wide at full stretch.
