Novak Djokovic captured a record fourth Rolex Shanghai Masters title on Sunday to step up his bid to finish 2018 as the year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. The Serbian star extended his winning streak to 18 matches with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Croatian No. 13 seed Borna Coric for his 32nd ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown.
"It's phenomenal. I'm very proud of it," Djokovic said. "Obviously the last three, four months have been terrific for me. Not many holes in the game in general, especially this week. Everything worked perfectly."
