Novak Djokovic breezed into the Rogers Cup final, seeing off Jeremy Chardy in two sets in Montreal.
Chardy, playing in his first Masters-level semi-final, showed early nerves on serve, and the world number one did not miss the chance to capitalise on his way to a 6-4 6-4 victory.
Of minor concern to the 28-year-old's fans was treatment to his forearm early in the second set, but Djokovic shook off the niggle to advance in one hour, 20 minutes.
The Serbian improved to a 10-0 head-to-head record against Frenchman Chardy, who has never taken a set off the nine-time major champion.
Djokovic has won 30 straight matches in ATP 1000 events - losing only nine sets in that run - dating back to the Shanghai Masters in October.
