A win in will add the 72nd trophy to Djokovic's total tally of career titles.

Coric, on the other hand, had stunned defending champion 6-4, 6-4 in their semi-final clash to advance into the last two round of the tournament.

The Serbian player, who has lost just one match after clinching his fourth in July, has won all of his previous three finals at Masters.

As far as head to head record is concerned, both the players have met twice in their careers and both times it is the Serbian who has emerged victorious.

Djokovic, who has already guaranteed to replace Swiss maestro at number two in the ranking list, will get more close to the number position if he registered a win in Shanghai.
