"I don't think we expected to reach the finals," Djokovic said in an on-court interview afterwards. "But if we play well, we can return very well, we serve very well and I think we have a quite solid net game.

"All around, everything clicked quite amazingly in the last several days for us. I'm just super thrilled to share the court with him and to reach our first final together."

Djokovic will be hoping to claim his second doubles title after he won the doubles tournament at Queen's alongside Jonathan Erlich in 2010.

He and Gomez-Herrera will face either fourth seeds Simone Bolelli and Maximo Gonzalez or second seeds Philipp Oswald and Marcus Daniell in the final.

In the singles event, top seed Daniil Medvedev came through a tight opening set to beat Norway's Casper Ruud 7-5, 6-1 and book his place in the semi-final.
