Miami Gardens, United States: Novak Djokovic went into a win of his 100th career title on Friday, leaving Gargor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3 to go to the Miami Open final, where he will play Czech teen Jacob Menk.

Djokovic, who now holds a 13-1 record against Bulgaria, has completely dominated the competition, which ended in 69 minutes.

Serb-3, who is now the oldest man to reach the final of the ATP Masters 1000 at the age of 37-Mansic, who served world number World No. Four Taylor Furts 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), contested the 19-year-old in the final of Sunday.

The match between Djokovic and his 33 -year -old rival was the oldest semi -final in the history of Masters 1000, which was 70 years old, but it was a bigger in the couple who dominated.

Djokovic was broken in his first service game, but it was his difficulties as he had ever retained his record of losing in Miami’s semi -finals.

This servo was once again a strong suit of Djokovic-he made 87 % of his first services and targeted five twenty-one-but his all-round game was impressive and he would be in the last trust of Jimmy Conners (109) and Roger Federer (103) to win 100 titles.

Djokovic said, “Today it was very fast, it was very difficult to control the ball, all the time changed direction but I had good service and I had my nerves.”

“The service was a special thing for me once again. I think this last game was 84 % and I thought it would be difficult to defeat it but today it was 87 % so I don’t know what to say.

“Hope I can continue in the same way because it certainly makes my life easier.” After the slow start of the season, Djokovic looks at his own Sweegerback and his 100th win.

“After the Olympics, which was the 99th title, the tournament I play is scoring 100 runs and I will not be able to get it,” he said. Hopefully, on Sunday, I’m going to do everything. “

Dimitrov has now lost 10 straight matches against Serb and was a philosophical defeat.

He said, “He’s doing the basics of anybody very good .The better than anyone. You just can’t let yourself go down or make an easy mistake.”

Lionel Messi was in the stands to watch the game after close training with Inter -Miami and Djokovic and was happy to see it. Djokovic said, “Keeping Shah Liu in the stands was a great honor. It was the first time I played in front of him.”

As expected, the competition between Mencyc and Furts was a fundamental war, which was eventually decided by the two tie breaks that won by check.

Ferts ended at an extraordinary position to lose, yet his service was not broken – he faced only two break points throughout the game.

The American said, “It will not really take the pain too much. Between the two breakers, like I have to win one of them. I have to play a little better.”

“I think when I’m playing well, when I win the match, I just talk like this. I draw these situations. So in a way, two breakers, it’s useless. I did my job. I didn’t break it. I didn’t have to face a break until the third set.”

Menk blew up 251 and retained the pressure on the feme with a numerous force hitting it when he reached his first Masters 1000 finals.

“I can’t just describe how I am feeling right now, this feeling will come later. It was a wonderful environment even though I had to face an American here.”

“The key was to be focused. He serves like me, so it was just a service game. He didn’t give me a chance to break it, so both tie breaks decided it.” Menk has faced Djokovic only once in his career, lost to Shanghai in October.
