Top seed Novak Djokovic will face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of the Thailand Open.

Serbian Djokovic, who is number three in the world, was a 7-5 6-1 winner over Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in his semi-final.

Tsonga, seeded second, produced a convincing display to hammer fourth seed Gael Monfils 6-0 6-3.

Sunday's final will be a repeat of the Australian Open final, when Djokovic beat Frenchman Tsonga in four sets.

Tsonga, who was playing only his second tournament since undergoing knee surgery in May, took just 52 minutes to book his place in the final and was delighted with his form.

"I played unbelievable tennis," he said. "For this tournament I didn't expect this. I didn't move so well but I hit the ball really hard."

Tsonga is looking forward to his meeting with Djokovic, adding: "It will be a different match and different conditions, but it would be my chance to take my revenge."
