Djokovic, Azarenka Clinch singles Titles

World No.1 Djokovic defeated Canadian Milos Raonic 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the final to clinch the men’s title and complete his second career Masters sweep. Djokovic, who is now enjoying a perfect 23-0 record in 2020, is the only player in history to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles. And now, he has done it twice.

The 33-year-old also tied Spaniard Rafael Nadal’s record for most Masters 1000 trophies (35). It wasn’t easy for the Serbian, though. Djokovic got off to a sluggish start in the first set against Raonic and had to dig deep to find his best form, clinching his 80th tour-level title after a two-hour battle.

In women’s singles, Azarenka won the title even without swinging her racket as her final opponent Naomi Osaka of Japan withdrew citing a left hamstring injury. As a result of the pullout, Azarenka won her 21st WTA tour title.
