MIAMI: World number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic advanced to the final of the ATP and WTA Miami Open on Friday by defeating Belgian 15th seed David Goffin 7-6 (7/5), 6-4.

The 28-year-old Serbian will try to match the career record of six Miami crowns won by Andre Agassi by capturing his third consecutive title at the hardcourt event on Sunday against the winner of a later match between Japanese Kei Nishikori and Australian 24th seed Nick Kyrgios.

“It’s a privilege just to be mentioned alongside Andre Agassi,” Djokovic said.
