(CNN) Paris has witnessed some of Novak Djokovic's greatest tennis triumphs, but his love affair with the French capital cooled a little Friday. It leaves the door open for second-ranked Andy Murray, beaten by Djokovic in last year's Paris final and also the title match at June's French Open, where the Serbian completed his collection of grand slam crowns. Two-time Olympic champion Murray gained the first of his two required victories by defeating Czech seventh seed Tomas Berdych 7-6 (11-9) 7-5 in Friday's third quarterfinal. Cilic had already qualified for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals by beating Belgian eighth seed David Goffin on Thursday. Cilic's only career Masters-level final was in August -- when he beat Murray in Cincinnati, following a third-round exit at Rio 2016.
