World number one Novak Djokovic tops Roger Federer and steals the show in London – Tennis News

Serbian ace, Novak Djokovic, steal the hearts of London after stunning second seeded Roger Federer in straight sets at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Monday. He juggled up a 7-5, 6-3 victory against the 17-time Grand Slam champion to capture his sixth year-to-date at this season-ending tournament taking place in London, England.

The reigning Australian Open champion, Djokovic dropped his opening serve and went 0-3 down. However, he re-focused and not only dragged the set to a tie-breaker but dominated in it, eventually sealing the opener with a 7-6(6) win.

In the following set, Djokovic made a terrible start again. He lost his serve and subsequently fell at 1-3. However, he quickly counterattacked and not only snatched his break back but also cashed another break chances in the end, ultimately sealing the set by winning seven games to five.

Djokovic stated in a post match press conference after grabbing his second ATP World Tour Finals title:

“It’s very satisfying for my team and myself to conclude this fantastic season with a [Barclays ATP] World Tour Finals win. I never got to the finals of this tournament in London. The furthest I got is semi-finals a couple years ago where I lost straight sets to Roger. I wasn’t really feeling this surface very well in past couple of years. But this year has been different. I got motivated, got a little bit more physically fresh. I wanted really to fight and I really wanted to get as far as I can in this tournament. Winning all the matches I played makes it even more special.”
