(Reuters) –     Novak Djokovic beat American Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals on Saturday, despite having a bad day in his own opinion, to move to within one win of matching Roger Federer’s record of six titles at the season finale.


Djokovic, chasing a sixth title at the event, prevailed  7-6(5) 7-6(6) and will play either Casper Ruud or Andrey Rublev in Sunday’s final.


“I had to fight to survive,” the 35-year-old Serbian said after his hard-fought victory over one hour 54 minutes at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.


“I didn’t feel very reactive today or very co*fortable. I knew co*ing into today’s match from yesterday’s gruelling battle against (Daniil) Medvedev… it would take me some time to adjust and find the dynamic movement I need against Fritz, who is one of the best servers on the Tour.


“I am very pleased to have overco*e this one as I don’t think it was one of my best days with my tennis but I managed to hang in there.”


If Djokovic wins the final, he will claim the biggest prize in tennis history, cashing in $4,740,300 for lifting the tournament trophy undefeated.
