The Serb reached the final in 19 of the last 20 tournaments he played, the last 17 at a stretch.

Novak Djokovic joined an elite list of players when he defeated Malek Jaziri 6-1, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals of the Dubai Open.
The result made the Serb only the 12th -- third among active -- player in the Open Era (since 1968) to win 700 career singles matches.
In a sport as physical and rigorous as tennis, to win as many matches is an incredible achievement.
In Djokovic's case, it adds to an already enviable list.
Since scoring his 600th match victory -- defeating Milos Raonic in the final of the Paris Masters in November 2014 -- Djokovic has piled up an enviable 100-6 record, winning four of the five major titles during the time.
