Novak Djokovic is within touching distance of Rafael Nadal’s number one ranking after winning the Shanghai Masters with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Borna Coric on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Croatian Coric had his right thigh heavily strapped and had been suffering a stiff neck for what was the biggest match of his young career.
Serbia’s Djokovic broke the 19th-ranked Coric — his good friend and sometime-training partner — in the sixth game of the first set on the way to another no-nonsense victory.
