DJOKOVIC CLOSE TO BECOMING TENNIS FIRST $100 MILLION MAN

Novak Djokovic close to becoming tennis' first $100m man as he adds to his prize money by winning Miami Open final

• Novak Djokovic defeated Kei Nishikori 6-3 6-3 in Sunday's Miami Open final
• Djokovic put on a devastating display in the finale at Key Biscayne, Florida
• In doing so, the Serb overtook Roger Federer in official career prize money
• The 28-year-old world No 1 has accumulated a grand total of $98.2million

This was the 28-year-old Serb's 28th Masters title of his career, another record as he overhauls Rafael Nadal's 27, and he looks unstoppable with a playing style that is near impossible to punch a hole in. He may not be the most startling tennis player ever, but he may be the most complete, with just the matter of a French Open title to secure in order to bolster that argument.

There are no signs that he plans to let up in that pursuit, with the clay court Monte Carlo Open beginning in a week's time.

'I live in Monte Carlo and that's where I go tomorrow and I will play that tournament,' said Djokovic, whose 714th career win passed the total of his coach Boris Becker.

'It's not the ideal schedule in terms of switching surface. I have only a week to get used to the clay courts but I have done it before and won. I'm not feeling tired, I feel I have plenty of energy and motivation for the beginning of the clay court season.

'Hopefully I can win more titles and build my form and win in Paris, that is obviously one of the top goals.'

The statistics behind his prize money surge are becoming increasingly remarkable, and this was the fourth time that he has won the Spring hard court titles of Indian Wells and Miami back to back, and the third time in succession.

Djokovic leads the ATP rankings on 16,450 points, further out in front than he has ever been. To put that in perspective, it is more than 1,000 points ahead of the combined total of his two nearest challengers, Andy Murray and Federer.

The thought even occurs whether anyone will beat him in 2016 in a completed match, although that will surely happen.
