- World No 1 prevails 6-4, 6-3 to earn his 40th Masters ATP title
- Unseeded Dimitrov fails in bid to win his first title in six years
Novak Djokovic cruised to a record-extending seventh Paris Masters title, and became the first player to claim 40 Masters ATP 1000 titles, after beating Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 6-3 in the final on Sunday.
The world No 1’s sixth trophy this season helped him to extend his lead over the second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz in the race to the year-end top spot. Djokovic will now head to the ATP Finals in Turin, primed to seal the deal after emerging triumphant from a series of close matches this week.
