Djokovic wins a fourth record title of Shanghai Masters
Novak Djokovic won a fourth record title at the Shanghai Masters with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Borna Coric, the No. 13 seed, on Sunday.
The second seed Djokovic has won the four finals of Shanghai that he has played in his career (2012, 2013, 2015 and 2018). He previously shared the record of winning three Shanghai titles with Andy Murray.
Djokovic has an overall record of 11-0 in finals played in China, where he also won the Beijing tournament six times and the 2008 year-end tennis cup held in Shanghai.
"Maybe I was Chinese in the past life," said Djokovic, smiling, explaining the impressive record in the country. "I would not be surprised, to be honest, with the way I feel here and the way I communicate and have a relationship with people."
"It's very, very positive, for more than ten years that I've come to China, there's something special about this place that makes me feel at home."
Djokovic dominated the opponents behind his powerful service, winning all of his 47 service games during the tournament.
"Well, to be honest, I'm not sure it's ever happened, you know, I'm going through a tournament without losing a service game," Djokovic said. "I'm sure it has not happened many times if it happened, so it was definitely one of the best weeks of service I had in my career."
"But for me, the service was always, so to speak, a hidden weapon, the shot in the game that obviously is very important," the "most important, but I always try to use it with precision and efficiency instead of speed and power . "
The Serbian offered Coric, a semblance number 13, a break point in the match, in the sixth game of the second set. Coric, who has not yet won a set against Djokovic in three games played, sailed at full speed to miss the opportunity.
"It was very hard," said Coric. "I did not know what to do exactly, I thought I was playing really well, which at the moment is not good because if I play badly, well, I know I have to start playing better, I need to change something."
"I'm happy with the whole week, I think it was a very good week for me."
Djokovic, who has now won four titles this season, will rise one place in the ranking to No. 2, which will push Roger Federer back to No. 3.
The victory extended its winning streak to 18 games, the longest of the season by any male player. Federer and Nadal had 17 victories in consecutive games during the year.
Coric, who had his right thigh wrapped up throughout the match, saved three match points in his own service in the ninth game of the second set.
But the Croatian could not prevent Djokovic snatched the title in a fourth match point in the next game. Djokovic won the final game to love when Coric sailed a long backhand.
