Serbia’s Novak Djokovic eliminated Belgian, Olivier Rochus, at the $1 million Gerry Weber Open today with a straight set victory. The second-seeded star won the match 7-6 (9-7), 6-4 in 1 hour, 54 minutes.
Djokovic moves on to the event’s finals where he will attempt to secure his third title of 2009 with a win over German wildcard, Tommy Haas, who was the No. 2 player back in 2002 but has failed to win a tournament since 2007 in Memphis. The pair have battled twice before with Djokovic winning both times.
The winner of Sunday’s match will collect $160,000. If Djokovic wins, this will be his first grass-court victory this year.
