The Wimbledon and US Open victor did not confront a break point in the match and won 72% of first-serve points.
He will now confront Marin Cilic after the Croat beat Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov.
Cilic hit 29 champs as he asserted a 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 triumph over ninth seed Dimitrov.
This is 6th time @DjokerNole has compiled a 20+ match winning streak in his career:
43 in 2010-11
28 in 2015
28 in 2013-14
23 in 2015
22 in 2012-13
20 in 2018— ATP Media Info (@ATPMediaInfo) November 1, 2018
Dimitrov, who won the ATP Finals a year ago, will complete the season nineteenth in the rankings in 2018, while Cilic requires one more triumph to meet all requirements during the current year’s occasion in London.
Djokovic is on a 20-match winning run yet was beaten by Cilic in the current year’s Queen’s last.
Swiss third seed Roger Federer plays Italy’s Fabio Fognini later on Thursday.
