Djokovic Guns For Milestone Century

Novak Djokovic has declared that he will "go all in" in pursuit of his 100th ATP career title. On March 28, the Serb moved to within one win of his target, outclassing Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3 to cruise into the Miami Open final to face Czech teen Jakub Mensik.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who now has a 13-1 record against his Bulgarian opponent, dominated the 69-minute contest. Djokovic - who at 37 is now the oldest man to reach an ATP Masters 1000 final - will face a 19-year-old in the final on March 30 (March 31, Singapore time) after the big-serving Mensik beat world No. 4 Taylor Fritz 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 7-6 (7-4).

"After the Olympics (gold), which was the 99th title, every tournament I play in has been going for 100 but I haven't be able to achieve that. Hopefully Sunday, I am going to go all in," he said.

The match against the 33-year-old Dimitrov was the oldest semi-final in Masters 1000 history, with a combined age of 70, but it was the older of the pair who dominated.

Djokovic was broken on his first service game but that was the extent of his difficulties, as the six-time winner maintained his record of never losing in a Miami semi-final.
