Novak Djokovic sealed his place in the Italian Open final on Saturday after beating Kei Nishikori 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(5) in Rome. 

Djokovic was forced to come from behind in an enthralling contest on Centre Court, with a self-inflicted ankle injury visibly rattling the Serbian top seed, who engaged in a war of words with the umpire for the second match in succession.

In the other semi-final encounter, World No. 3 Andy Murray overcame testing conditions to secure a 6-2, 6-1 victory against Frenchman Lucas Pouille.

Rainy weather in the Italian capital delayed the 3 p.m. start time before a later rain-enforced interval, but the Scot's experience shone through as he reached his fourth ATP World Tour clay-court final in just 59 minutes of action.

Here are the latest results from the day's action at the Rome Masters.

He was forced to call for a medical timeout after the game and appeared to be hampered in his movement thereafter as Nishikori took full advantage in the opening set.

LiveTennis displayed the problems Djokovic encountered in the opening stages as he required medical attention:



The 26-year-old worked on his opponent's restricted movement with an array of drop shots to break at 2-1 before a lethal right-hander down the tram-line secured a 5-2 advantage.
