Novak Djokovic has sent signals that he has regained his form when he ruthlessly dismissed  Dominic Thiem,  6-1 6-0 to qualify for the Italian Masters final in Rome.

He will meet Alexander Zverev who had earlier defeated American John Isner in three sets, 6-4 6-7 6-1.

Thiem had on Friday defeated Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals.

Djokovic crushing of Thiem was significant as the World Number 2 had earlier in the day, in a rescheduled quarter-final match, battled past Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro 6-1 6-4 .
