Novak Djokovic has won a staggering 30 ATP Masters 1000 titles during his career. Yet, somehow the Cincinnati title has eluded him.

He has won 13 Grand Slam titles, several ATP World Tour finals, a Davis Cup, an Olympic medal, and eight out of nine Masters 1000s. He's made the Western & Southern Open final five times.

The former world No. 1 has had to fight hard this week, summoning shots like these to dig out of a set hole against the tricky Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in the second round.

The fight only got more challenging for Djokovic. After rain delayed his third-round match on Thursday, the Serb came back on Friday to finish off defending champion Grigor Dimitrov in three sets.

He had to play again on Friday and needed three sets to take out Milos Raonic. Next up is Marin Cilic. If Djokovic can survive two more battles, he may get to finally hold the Cincinnati trophy after all.
