Federer beats Djokovic at Cincinnati

Published

on

Roger Federer has defeated world No.1 Novak Djokovic 7-6 (7/1) 6-3 to win his seventh ATP Cincinnati Masters title.

Federer denied Djokovic a first Cincinnati crown on Sunday, leaving it the only one of the elite Masters titles the Serb has never won.

With the win, world No.3 Federer will regain the No.2 ranking that Andy Murray grabbed with his triumph in Montreal last week – just in time to make Federer the second seed at the US Open starting on August 31.

    Feel so bad for Djokovic, my favourite tennis player lost two finals in two weeks. Now its a must he wins the US open, else he has a real fight on his hand to retain the number one spot. God help you my man
