Miami win for Djokovic before Monte-Carlo Masters
Novak Djokovic wins the Miami Open for a 3rd straight year & 6th overall
Beating his opponent, Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-3, Djokovic was able to claim a record 28th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown.
This win ended Rafael Nadal's six year reign of the Masters 1000 title lead, one that Nadal took from Andre Agassi in 2010. With this recent victory, Djokovic also passed coach Boris Becker for 11th on Open Era match wins list with No. 714.
"It was a really tough one," Nishikori said. "He has great defence, so it's tough to break his game. And it was windy. So I couldn't really be too aggressive because the ball was moving and it was tough to do that. He was very patient and he didn't miss. It's always so tough to play Novak."
The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters tournament starts this Saturday, 9th April 2016 in Monaco, and we can look forward to seeing the 'Big 4' - Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Federer - in action. Can Djokovic continue his winning streak and defend his 2015 title and be crowned the Master of Monte-Carlo?
