Novak Djokovic:
For Djokovic, the upcoming final will be his 127th at the ATP level. He has previously won 89 titles.
Novak has not given up a single set so far this week. In the first match, he easily defeated Pablo Andujar (6-0, 6-3).
Next was a victory over Vasek Pospisil (7-6, 6-3). In the semi-finals, Nole stopped Roman Safiullin (6-1, 7-6). In the second set, Djokovic did not serve for the match at 5:4, but finally, he overpowered Roman on the tie-break.

Marin Cilic:
Cilic, meanwhile, reached the final for the first time this season. Earlier this year, he had been one step away from a decisive match four times.
In Tel Aviv, the Croatian’s toughest match so far was in the first round, where he defeated Dominic Thiem (6-7, 6-2, 6-4). Marin gave away the first set but eventually got a comeback.
In the quarterfinals, Cilic was expected to meet Liam Broady, but his opponent was unable to enter the match due to illness.
In the semi-finals, Marin quietly defeated Constant Lestienne (7-5, 6-3).
Cilic has won six of his last seven matches overall.
