Queen's 2018: Novak Djokovic to face Marin Cilic in final

Former world number one Novak Djokovic reached his first final for a year by beating Jeremy Chardy at the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen's.

The Serb, who was hampered by an elbow injury last year, won the semi-final against the Frenchman 7-6 (7-5) 6-4.

Djokovic looked skywards after sealing victory with a powerful forehand.

He will face top seed Marin Cilic in Sunday's final at the grass-court event after the Croat kept his cool to beat Nick Kyrgios 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4).

Djokovic's last appearance in a Tour final was at Eastbourne a year ago, where the 12-time Grand Slam champion went on to win the title.
