Djokovic thrashes Nadal in China

World number one Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-2 to win his sixth straight ATP China Open title.

Nadal, 29, in his sixth singles final of 2015, missed a chance to break Djokovic at 3-2 in the opening set to level the match in Beijing.

With a fightback not materialising and the Spaniard requiring treatment on his right foot at 1-1 in the second set, the 28-year-old Serb won comfortably.

Wimbledon runner-up Garbine Muguruza beat Timea Bacsinszky in the WTA final.

The Spanish 22-year-old won 7-5 6-4 in a hard-fought victory for her second WTA title, and will climb to fourth in the world rankings when they are released on Monday.
