Djokovic hasn’t dropped a set so far in the competition and he continued that run against the talented young Russian.
The world number four saved three break points at 4-4 and then broke in the next game to take the first set.
From then on it didn’t look in doubt and Djokovic broke in the ninth in the second before serving out to secure victory.
He will meet Gael Monfils in Saturday’s final after the second seed beat Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-7(7) 7-6(4) in an all-French semi-final showdown.
