Novak Djokovic wins Paris Masters

Novak Djokovic became the first man to successfully defend his title at the Paris Masters, thanks to a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Milos Raonic.

Djokovic, who did not drop a set during the whole week, claimed the 20th Masters title of his career and won the indoor tournament for the third time, matching the tally of his coach Boris Becker in the French capital.

The Serb also extended his lead over Federer to 1,310 points ahead of the ATP Finals, which kicks off in London a week from now.

Djokovic became the latest player and 23rd overall to claim 600 match victories, making him the third player to join the exclusive group in 2014, alongside Lleyton Hewitt and David Ferrer.
