Novak Djokovic moved into his 10th final of the season Saturday after beating fourth-seeded Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals of the Shanghai Masters.

Djokovic is looking for his fifth title of the year and second straight after winning in Beijing last week. He will play the winner between top-ranked Roger Federer and No. 3 Andy Murray.

Against Berdych, Djokovic hit 25 winners and converted all three of his break points to improve his head-to-head record against the Czech player to 10-1.

It was Djokovic’s tour-leading 69th victory of the year.
