Djokovic increases lead over Federer in world rankings post Paris Masters win

Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic increased his lead over 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer at the top of the ATP world rankings as he eased to his sixth title of 2014 with a comfortable win over Milos Raonic in the Paris Masters final.

The Serb, who prevailed 6-2, 6-3 in one hour and 23 minutes, said that it's beautiful to win his first match after becoming a father. Djokovic's wife Jelena gave birth to a son last month.

He said that he played his best match of the week, adding that he is very happy to have the opportunity to stand there with the trophy, The BBC reported.

The world number one has now reached 600 career wins, a feat achieved by only four other active players. He has won 20 Masters titles, while Wimbledon semifinalist Raonic's wait for a breakthrough success at this level continues.

The Canadian doubled his tally of wins over top-five players in reaching the final, beating Federer and Tomas Berdych, but was on the back foot from the start against Djokovic, the report added.
