With his number one ranking on the line, Djokovic beat first-time Masters 1000 finalist Denis Shapovalov in straight sets in the 2019 Paris-Bercy final to win a record-extending 5th title at the tournament.

In his 50th Masters 1000 final, Djokovic lifted his 34th title in the tournament series to move to within one of all-time leader Rafael Nadal's tally of 35.

The Serb had earlier triumphed in Paris-Bercy in 2009 and 2013-15, with his only final reverse at the tournament coming against Karen Khachanov in 2018.

#7 Dubai - 5 titles

Djokovic celebrates his 5th Dubai title in 2020

Djokovic became the only player after Federer to win multiple titles at the Dubai Open when he did so in 2010. A year later, Djokovic emulated Federer's three-peat (2004-06) with one of his own, following a straight-set win over the 8-time champion.

Making his first appearance at the tournament since a quarterfinal loss to Feliciano Lopez in 2016, Djokovic reeled off successive straight-set wins over Malek Jaziri, Philipp Kohlschreiber, and Karen Khachanov to reach the semifinals before escaping three consecutive match points against Gael Monfils to extend his perfect record against the Frenchman as well as his perfect record on the season to 17-0.

In his first Dubai title match since a defeat to Federer in 2015, Djokovic trumped returning finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to lift his 5th title at the tournament, and first since winning his 4th in 2013.
