Djokovic, Azarenka Triumph At Western & Southern Open

TIL Desk Sports/ Serbian star Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus won men’s and women’s singles titles respectively at the ATP/WTA Western & Southern Open on Saturday. World number one Djokovic defeated Canadian Milos Raonic in the final 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 to take the men’s title and completed his second career Masters sweep.

Djokovic, who is now enjoying a perfect 23-0 in 2020, is the only player in history to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles. And now he has claimed them all twice. The 33-year-old also tied Rafael Nadal’s record for most Masters 1000 trophies with 35.

In women’s singles final, Azarenka won the title even without swinging her racket as her Japanese opponent Naomi Osaka withdrew citing a left hamstring injury, leaving Azarenka to claim her 21st WTA tour title.
