Novak Djokovic feels he's rediscovering his best form ahead of historic Miami final

Following a theme of his impressive return to form in Miami, Djokovic made a stunning 87 per-cent of his first serves and won 79 per-cent of those points as he didn't allow Dimitrov a look in on his service games as he missed just six first serves in the match.

Djokovic's stunning form in Miami means he will compete for his 100th career ATP title in Sunday's final and he also set another couple of records with this latest victory.

"It feels great to get to the final without dropping a set," Djokovic said. "I probably feel as good as I have felt since the Olympics last year.

"I thought I wouldn't beat the percentage of first serves in from the last match, but I did it. It was 83 per-cent in the last match and 87 per-cent today. Now I know how it feels to be like John Isner! And [Ivo] Karlovic and [Reilly] Opelka. It certainly makes life a lot easier on the court.

"I found some really good serves with new balls in the last game and it was really tricky conditions today. The wind was not consistent and it was changing a lot. So it was not easy to find control."

When asked about the prospect of his 100th career title in the Miami final, he added: "After the Olympics, which was my 99th title, I knew that every tournament I play I am going for 100. I wasn't able to achieve that⦠until hopefully Sunday.

"I am going to go all in. I haven't dropped a set. I'm playing really good tennis, as good as I've played in a long time."

Lionel Messi was among those watching this remarkably polished performance just a few weeks before he celebrates his 38th birthday, with the great Argentine soccer legend one of the few athletes who could be compared to Djokovic among the list of iconic athletes over the last two decades.

On the evidence of this masterclass against a jaded Dimitrov, the masterful Djokovic still has so much more to offer and those who dared to write off the most successful male tennis player of all-time are being proved wrong once again by the greatest champion of them all.
