Novak Djokovic has moved past old rival Rafael Nadal for the most ATP Masters 1000 wins with another straight-sets victory at the Miami Open.
Djokovic posted win number 411 in Sunday’s 6-1 7-6 triumph over Camilo Ugo Carabelli.
He had gone level with Nadal after a routine victory over Australian Rinky Hijikata on Friday.
The world number five sent down 10 aces in a match that lasted an hour and 46 minutes to set up a last 16 tie with Lorenzo Musetti.
“It’s an honour to have another milestone, to have another record broken,” Djokovic said.
“There’s always something on the line, pretty much every time I play and of course that motivates me to do well in the tournament.”
In other matches, Musetti progressed past Felix Auger-Aliassime in a hard-fought 4-6 6-2 6-3 battle, but ninth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was knocked out by Sebastian Korda in 7-6 (4) 6-3 score.
