Novak Djokovic has clinched his fourth Italian Open title thanks to a straight-sets win over Roger Federer in Rome.
The world number one finished off
Federer with one hour and 16 minutes on the clock as his preparation for
the French Open ended in style.
There was little to separate the two men
during the opening set, but Djokovic managed to save a break point at
4-4 before breaking himself to take it 6-4.
A string of errors put Federer on the
back foot at the start of the second, and Djokovic was able to take
advantage and open up a 2-0 lead. The Serbian then held his nerve to
close out the contest 6-4 6-3 as Federer struggled to regain his
composure.
Djokovic, who has now won 19 of the last
41 Masters tournaments, previously triumphed at the Italian Open in
2008, 2011 and 2014.
