After failing after five previous finals, Djokovic finally got the title that had been missing from his resume as the Serb beat his greatest rival Rafael Nadal in straight sets.
The championship was the only ATP Masters 1000 title the former number one had failed to win in his illustrious career and he finally broke the ice on his sixth try.
In doing so, the Wimbledon champion completed the first Career Golden Masters, having won titles in all nine of the tournaments in the series that began in 1990.
