Paris Masters results: Karen Khachanov beats Novak Djokovic in the final
PARIS MASTERS results - Express Sport brings you all the scores as Karen Khachanov beats Novak Djokovic in the final.
Djokovic will be crowned the new world No 1 at the end of the week after Nadal pulled out before his second-round clash with Fernando Verdasco.
The Spaniard was due to play for the first time since suffering a knee injury at the US Open seven weeks ago.
But he was advised by the doctor to pull out of the competition with the ATP Tour Finals in mind.
"I felt better than I thought I would one week ago but in the last few days I started to feel a bit in my abdominal, especially when I was serving," the French Open champion said.
"I checked with the doctor and the doctor recommended that I did not play. It has been a tough year for me in terms of injury so I want to avoid drastic things.
"I have to think longer term. I want to keep playing tennis for a couple of years, so I have to do the logical thing."
Following Nadal's withdrawal, Djokovic knocked Federer out of the semi-finals in an epic three-set battle.
The Serbian then fell at the final hurdle to Khachanov after failing to shake an illness he was struggling with all week.
