Winning Miami Open, Djokovic sets 2 records

Defeating Kei Nishikori 2-0 to successfully defend his title in Miami helped Novak Djokovic surpass Nadal and Federer at the same time to set two proud records.

As expected, Djokovic, with his current "undefeated" form, had no difficulty defeating Nishikori with 2 winning sets and a score of 6-3 after only 75 minutes of competition in the Miami Open final at Crandon Park this year. This was Nole's 7th win after 9 times facing the Japanese opponent.

In this match, Djokovic lost a total of 2 breaks (both in the first set). However, the world number one's spirit helped Nole overcome difficulties successfully to affirm his superior class, helping him find his 6th victory over Nishikori, since the shocking loss in the semi-finals of the US Open 2014.

Winning in Miami this year means so much to Djokovic

Thus, Djokovic has won the Miami Open for the 6th time in his career and the 3rd consecutive time, equaling the championship trophy winning record with his American senior Andre Agassi.

More importantly, the second Masters 1000 championship this year helped Nole simultaneously set two new records that previously belonged to his two great rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Djokovic has surpassed Nadal to become the male tennis player with the most Masters 1000 titles in history with 28 times lifting this type of trophy.

With more than 1 million USD in prize money from winning the Miami Open this year, the world's number 1 male tennis player from Serbia has also surpassed Roger Federer to become the tennis player with the highest prize money in the history of world tennis with an admirable figure: 98.4 million USD.

Speaking after the memorable final match at the Miami Open 2016, Djokovic said: "Nishikori played a very good match and caused me a lot of trouble in the first set. His ability to return serves improved a lot after each time we met. Every time we met Nishikori was an interesting experience. Thank you to the organizers, the audience and the referee team for helping me win the championship today."

Nishikori shares joy with Nole on the podium

Thus, Miami Open is Djokovic's fourth title in the 2016 season, after Qatar Open, Australian Open and Indian Wells Masters.

Meanwhile, despite losing to Djokovic and having to be satisfied with the runner-up position in Miami, Nishikori did not feel too sad:

"Well played, Novak. I hope I can meet you next time. A tough match as always, but playing Djokovic is always a great challenge for me. I always love coming back to Miami to play. Thanks to my team. I hope to win a Masters title in the future."
