Novak Djokovic at the 2015 Paris Masters

Serb Novak Djokovic is the only player to have won 4 titles at the Paris Masters 1000 and is the only player to have defended the title in the tournament's history. Djokovic won a hattrick of titles from 2013 to 2015. His first title at the Paris Indoors came in 2009.

The Serb is unbeaten in finals at this event. He has also won the most matches here - 28. Between 2013 to 2015, he was undefeated for 17 straight matches - another tournament record. With the Number 1 ranking in sight coupled with his newfound mojo since Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic looks set to capture an unprecedented 5th title in Paris and re-capture the World Number 1 ranking.

If Novak Djokovic wins the Paris Masters later this month, he will tie Rafael Nadal's tally of 33 ATP Masters 1000 titles and may well overtake the Spaniard in the ATP rankings.
