Djokovic beats Murray to clinch fourth Paris Masters title

Novak Djokovic won his sixth Masters title of the year on Sunday when he defeated Andy Murray 6-2, 6-4 in Paris to put the finishing touches on one of the greatest years in tennis history.

The top seed won the series-closing title for an unprecedented third straight year and a fourth time in all as he dominated the Scottish second seed from start to finish in 1hr 32mins.

The win brought Djokovic’s final regular season win-loss record to a stunning 78-5 and took his unbeaten run, stretching back to August 23, to 22 matches.

He will now go on to the World Tour Finals in London having won three out of four Grand Slam titles and six out of nine Masters 1000 series titles in 2015.

“It was a tough match today and I wish Andy all the best for the rest of the season both in London and the Davis Cup final. I know you want to do well, Djokovic said.
