Djokovic Ends Year on High With Victory Over Federer

LONDON — Novak Djokovic put the finishing touch to a magnificent season by beating Roger Federer 6-3 6-4 to win the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday for the fifth time in his career.

The Serbian underlined his complete dominance of men's tennis with an immaculate display to become the first player in the year-ending tournament's 46-year history to triumph four times in a row.

After Federer brought the tournament to a close in anti-climactic fashion with a double-fault, Djokovic wrote "And now for vacation" on the camera lens in Serbian.

How he deserves it.

The 28-year-old has stomped through the season to leave his rivals trailing in his wake -- securing the year-end world number one ranking weeks before the London finale.
