Novak Djokovic is the only man to have won the Miami Masters without dropping a set since 1990
Novak Djokovic has won the joint-most Miami Masters titles in the tournament's 37-year history. The Serb has won the title six times, tied with Andre Agassi on the list of all-time winners.
But since 1990, when it comes to winning the ATP 1000 event without dropping a set, the World No. 1 stands apart. Remarkably, Djokovic has managed to pull off the feat four times so far.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion's first such accomplishment came in the 2007 edition, which marked his maiden triumph in Miami. Seeded 10th in the tournament, he defeated three unseeded players in the first three rounds to reach the quarterfinals, where he took on second seed Rafael Nadal.

Nadal was yet to lose a set in the event at that point as well, but fell against the Serb without much resistance. In the semifinals, the 34-year-old vanquished 12th seed Andy Murray in dominant fashion, even serving up a bagel in the second set.
Qualifier Guillermo Canas stood between Djokovic, then 19 years old, and his first Masters 1000 title, but the Argentinian was blown away by the World No. 1 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the best-of-five encounter.

Following victories over fifth seed David Ferrer (quarterfinals) and 21st seed Juan Monaco (semifinals), the 20-time Grand Slam champion disposed of fourth seed Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6(4) to defend his title.
