Novak Djokovic revealed that he does not want to play against Milos Raonic during an interview after his win against Kei Nishikori in Paris Masters, according to Tennis World USA. The Canadian Raonic, who is known to be one of the best servers of the game with an average serve speed of 211 kilometres per hour faced the world no. 1 at the finals of the Paris Masters and the Serb revealed that it is not pleasant to play against someone who serves that fast.

In the same interview, the world no. 1 also spoke about this match against Kei Nishikori, who previously defeated him at the US Open earlier this year. "It was obvious how Kei was tired and may had to deal with a physical problem that stopped him from playing at his best, especially on serve. I on the other hand, managed to serve well in the important moments, putting pressure on his service games," the Serb, who recently claimed his 600th career title, said.

Despite his revelation of not wanting to play against the fast server, Raonic, the world no. 1 eased to his sixth title this year with a comfortable win over the Canadian at the Paris Masters. The 27-year-old triumphed 6-2, 6-3 in a little more than an hour match, which increased his lead over the world no. 2, Roger Federer at the top of the ATP world rankings. The Serb who is happy to take home the trophy, revealed his delight to be able to win his first fight after he became a father and he further claimed that he played his best match of the week.

On the other hand, Milos Raonic managed to double his tally of wins over top-five players by reaching the Paris Masters finals beating Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych. The top seeded Serb did not drop a set in Bercy. In the first set, Djokovic saved three break points before breaking the Canadian. In the second set, another break extended Djokovic's winning streak in indoor matches and led him to the top of the ATP World Tour Finals in London next week. Raonic also qualifies to compete for the ATP world tour finale from November 9-16.
