Novak Djokovic is one victory away from a 100th career singles title after breezing past Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3 on Friday to reach the Miami Open final where he will face unseeded Czech teenager Jakub Mensik.
MIAMI: After being broken to start the match, Djokovic quickly settled in, breaking back in the next game and again for a 4-2 advantage on a mishit forehand by 14th seed Dimitrov.
The Serbian pocketed the first set when the Bulgarian's volley sailed long and he maintained the momentum in the second to race to a 3-0 lead. Djokovic pounded an unreturnable serve on his second match point to improve to a 13-1 career record against Dimitrov.
The fourth seed's serving masterclass in South Florida showed no sign of letting up in the semi-final. He missed just six first serves while pounding five aces to one double fault.
