TORONTO -- Top-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia is on to the final of the Rogers Cup after a 6-3, 6-2 win over France's Gael Monfils on Saturday night.

Djokovic will face third seed Kei Nishikori of Japan in the final on Sunday afternoon.

Croatia's Ivan Dodig and Brazil's Marcelo Melo will face Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares in the doubles final earlier Sunday.

Djokovic relied on his superb return game to win the first set. One rally saw the two split nearly 30 shots, with Monfils putting the ball too deep to give Djokovic a break point.

Monfils gave Djokovic a 4-2 lead on an embarrassing misplay. Monfils had an easy overhead smash lined up, but instead spiked the ball on his own side of the net.

The capacity crowd at York University's Aviva Centre was clearly partial to Djokovic, with nearly a dozen Serbian flags in the crowd and fans chanting "NO-LE" -- Djokovic's nickname -- before the start of every game. Monfils had his own supporters, with sporadic calls of "Allez-y Monfils!" between serves, but nowhere near the loud cheers Djokovic earned.

Djokovic's dominance continued, with him establishing a sizable lead in the second set again based on his mastery of returns.

Fireworks exploded from the top of the stadium, with Djokovic thrusting his arms out from his chest to give the fans his love after Monfils's final shot went well wide.

Earlier, Nishikori defeated Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka 7-6 (6), 6-1 to advance to the final.

Nishikori has never won an ATP Masters 1000 event and Djokovic owns a 9-2 record against him. Although Nishikori has won both of his meetings with Monfils, most players on the ATP Tour consider the Frenchman as tennis's most dangerous opponent.

"I haven't beat Novak for a long time on hard court so I think it's going to be a great challenge for me to play Novak again in the final, because we played in Miami and he dominated the game," said Nishikori. "So I hope I can get revenge this time."

Three unforced errors were Wawrinka's undoing in the first set, with a double fault robbing him of the advantage on serve, then a forehand way wide of the court -- almost into the stands -- giving Nishikori the tiebreak set point.

Wawrinka's mental errors continued in the second set with Nishikori holding advantage for the fourth game. He missed a wide-open volley, sending the ball out of bounds when Nishikori had ceded an entire lane of the court to him.

Obviously frustrated, Wawrinka leaned on the net after the misplay, shaking his head then pulling his shirt over his face as he walked back to the baseline to the laughter of fans.

"Just missed an easy shot of the match. That's it," said Wawrinka with a smile. "You don't feel good on the court when you miss that kind of shot. It can happen, you know. At the end of the day we can all miss easy shots.

"That's not the most important shot -- I was already quite down in the second set. It wasn't easy for me to try to find any solution."
