Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic will lock horns again in the final of the Paris Masters.
Murray is looking to learn from past experience ahead of his Paribas Masters final meeting with the world number one on Sunday.
Murray sealed his place in the Paris decider for the first time in his career after accounting for David Ferrer 6-4 6-3 in Saturday's first semi-final.
The British second seed is set to meet Djokovic for the seventh time this year.
Murray has only won one of the previous six meetings - in Montreal - having tasted defeat in the Australian Open final and French Open semis.
He also lost the Miami final, while he was no match for Djokovic in the final four at Indian Well and Shanghai.
The two-time grand slam winner, however, is hoping to use those defeats to improve his own game.
"I think this year I've pushed him close and beaten him once apart from the matches, but also had two of the matches, in Indian Wells and last time at Shanghai, but apart from those ones I have been close," Murray said.
"It's up to me to learn from the ones like the match in Shanghai to make sure they aren't as lopsided as that."
Djokovic, who extended his winning run to 21 matches, is on course to become the first player to win six ATP Masters 1000 titles in a season after prevailing 6-3 3-6 6-0 against Stan Wawrinka.
"What he's done this year has been exceptional and when players have years like that it draws a lot of attention to the sport because of how consistent he is and how many matches he's won," Murray said of Serbia's 10-time grand slam champion.
"So for the sport I don't think it's negative when someone has such an exceptional year but obviously it's up for the guys that are around him to raise their level as well and try to beat him on a consistent basis and try to understand how best to do that."
