Paris Masters: Novak Djokovic beats Grigor Dimitrov to win 40th Masters title

Novak Djokovic won a record-extending seventh Paris Masters trophy and a 40th Masters title in total on Sunday.

The world number one beat unseeded Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 6-3 in straightforward fashion.

It is the 36-year-old's sixth title of 2023, which includes three Grand Slam crowns and the Masters trophy in Cincinnati.

Djokovic has been dominant on hard courts this season, winning 33 matches and only losing once.

Playing in his 58th Masters final, the Serb was hardly challenged by Bulgarian Dimitrov, ranked 17th in the world, who was playing in only his second Masters final.
