– Novak Djokovic won the Western & Southern Open on Saturday to extend his winning streak to 23-0 in 2020, Reuters reports. The world No. 1’s streak is the second-longest in tennis history, trailing only Rafael Nadal’s 35-year-old record. Djokovic struggled with a neck injury during the first set of Saturday’s final against Canada’s Milos Raonic, but came back to win 1-6 6-3 6-4. “Was a bit slow at the beginning, but I thought I did well, considering the form that Milos is in,” Djokovic said. “He’s serving rockets on the court, and it’s really hard to return. You need all the freshness mentally and all the focus that you can possibly have.”
