Roger Federer defeated Novak Djokovic in the final to win Cincinnati Masters for the record fifth time on Sunday.
He crushed a victory in 79 minutes by 6-0, 7-6 (9-7) and won his 76th career title
World number 1 and Wimbledon champion dominated the whole play. Swiss took 23 minutes to get pass Serb rival in the opening set. The second set went to the tiebreaker which he won.
Roger Federer said, "It's been a long summer. The change from grass to hard courts is not easy but we all have to do it. Even with how well I'm playing you never expect yourself to win these big matches. It's been a great week for me."
Djokovic said, "I had a terrible first set; he started very solid on serve. He was using it very efficiently and putting a lot pressure on my serve. I made a lot of double faults and didn't find my rhythm; it was over in 20 minutes. I played better in the second; I thought it was very even. But when I had the chances I didn't use them. He deserved to win."
In the women's final of Cincinnati Masters China's Li Na defeated Germany's Angelique Kerber in the final by 1-6, 6-3, 6-1.
She struggled in the first set but came back strongly to win the next two sets and grab the first title of this season.
