Novak Djokovic has reached the final of the Paris Masters with a three-set win over Stanislas Wawrinka.
The world number one lost his first set since the US Open final, but he had enough to see off the French Open champion 6-3 3-6 6-0.

Djokovic started quickly in the opening set, taking a 3-1 lead courtesy of a break, and Wawrinka was unable to bounce back as the Serbian won the set 6-3.
Wawrinka eventually broke Djokovic's serve in the second set to make it 2-2 early on, before the Swiss broke again, eventually taking the set 6-3.
Djokovic had won his previous 29 sets in a row but Wawrinka had finally ended the Serbian's run, although Djokovic stormed back in the final set, once more breaking Wawrinka's serve to take an early 3-0 lead.
The world number one sensed victory and he raced through the remaining games to progress through to Sunday's final where he will take on Andy Murray, who recorded a two-set victory over David Ferrer earlier on Saturday.
