NOVAK Djovkovic won his ninth title of the season, with a victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of the Shanghai Masters.
Djokovic broke in the opening game, after the Frenchman could not get a volley over the net. The 16th seed continued to make costly errors, including hitting a loose forehand long, and Djokovic earned another break and a 3-love lead.
Trailing 5-1 in the opener, Tsonga showed some fight with a punishing forehand winner. But that only prolonged the inevitable, as the Serb took the next game at love, to win the first set 6-2. The second set was a far tighter affair with Tsonga limiting his errors and looking more confident from the baseline as he whipped a forehand cross court for a winner; he went 4-3 in front.
But in the ninth game, Djokovic found an opening, from the baseline the world number one unleashed a wicked forehand winner, getting him a vital break. Djokovic then served for the match, and clinched the game at love when the Frenchman's return went long. The Serb won 6-2, 6-4, securing his ninth title of the year.
Djokovic then wrote a Chinese character meaning “happiness” on a camera. The title is his 25th Masters success in all, and he is now 10-0 in ATP World Tour Finals in China, with this his third Shanghai triumph.
