No repeat of the upset on Tuesday, Roger Federer was tamed easily by Novak Djokovic in the finale of the ATP World Tour Finals to bag the title with a 6-3, 6-4 win in London’s O2 arena.

Federer had some early chances but wasted a couple of break points. Djokovic proved more ruthless, breaking in the third and ninth games to take the opening set.

Swiss Federer, bidding for a record-extending seventh title at the year-ender, was staring at the abyss when he trailed 3-4 0-40 in the second set but escaped with five straight points.

Djokovic was unrelenting though and wore the 34-year-old Federer down when the Swiss served to stay in the match at 4-5.

The straight sets victory gives the Serbian world number 1 his fourth consecutive year end title, making him the first ever player to achieve the feat in the tournament’s 46 year history.
