PARIS: It´s been quite a year for Novak Djokovic, who is driving towards another year-ending number one spot, recently becoming a proud father and winning his third Paris Masters crown for his 600th ATP victory.

The popular 27-year-old Serb said at the beginning of last week that becoming a dad had already made him feel like number one, but he is also doing his talking on the court, breezing through an elite field in the French capital without dropping a set.

His 6-2, 6-3 victory over big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic on Sunday emphasised his dominance in world tennis, but there is still one tournament to go at the season-ending World Tour Finals in London.

His lead over Roger Federer in the ATP rankings is now 1,310 points with up to a possible 1,500 available to the winner in London.

Federer can also pick up a small amount of points when he plays the Davis Cup final for Switzerland against France in Lille but it might be too late by then with Djokovic the man to beat heading to London.
