Novak Djokovic defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-4 on Sunday to become the first player to win three Shanghai Rolex Masters titles in the competition's history, claiming his 25th career Masters crown.

The Serbian sealed his hat-trick with a decisive straight-sets victory over Frenchman Tsonga, who despite managing a big upset over Rafael Nadal in Saturday's semi, crumbled under the force of the world No. 1.

Tsonga faced 13 break points in total, while Djokovic was troubled on serve only once, per the official ATP World Tour website. Speaking to the official ATP World Tour website, Tsonga confessed he was "very satisfied" with the runners-up finish:

The first set went quick. It's not easy to stop him. He is really consistent on his return. Today I didn't serve well enough, especially in the first set. After that, in the second, I served a little bit better, and it give me opportunity to have a chance on his serve. But finally I was not able to do it, and he broke me at 4-all.

I'm very satisfied. To come back at your best level, it's always a long process. I'm happy today to be back really close to the Top 10. Like I said just before, it give me energy to continue to work hard and try to achieve other good things.



Just as was the case in his own semi-final against world No. 2 Andy Murray a day earlier, Djokovic proved unrelenting on Shanghai's hard court and rapidly claimed the first set.

The all-round movement of the world No. 1 proved impossible for Tsonga to restrain and the Frenchman's confidence was rocked after being broken in his two opening service games for Djokovic to claim a 3-0 lead.

Tsonga was partly to blame for that demise as a poor drop shot was responsible for the second break, but USA Today's Juan Jose Vallejo couldn't help but marvel at Djokovic's return game:



Tsonga broke back in the fourth, but order was quick...
