Serbian teenager Novak Djokovic breezed to a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win over Argentine Guillermo Canas to claim the Sony Ericsson Open on Sunday, underlining his status as a possible future world number one.
After losing to Rafael Nadal in the Indian Wells final two weeks ago, the 19-year-old 10th seed would not let a second opportunity for his first Masters Series title slip through his fingers, replacing Andre Agassi as the youngest ever winner in the 23-year history of the Miami event.
It was the second title of the season for Djokovic and fourth of his young career.
Employing an all-round game that has drawn comparison with Roger Federer's, Djokovic stands out among a list of great Miami champions, joining Ivan Lendl (1989) as the only player to lift the title without dropping a set.
Canas, who recorded back-to-back upset wins over world number one Federer at Indian Wells and Miami, had no answers for the energetic Djokovic who will climb to a career high number seven in the world rankings on Monday.
