Novak Djokovic breezed into the semi-finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships defeating Russian Khachanov 6-2, 6-2 in 67 minutes.

He will next face third-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils.

Monfils also had an easy route into the semi-finals by defeating Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-3 in an all-French clash.

The last quarter-final saw Britain's Dan Evans send Russian Andrey Rublev packing in two sets 6-2, 7-6.
