Djokovic wins ATP Finals for 7th time

TURIN (Reuters) -A ruthless Novak Djokovic destroyed home favourite Jannik Sinner to win the ATP Finals title for a record seventh time on Sunday - reaching yet another milestone in his incredible career.

The 36-year-old Serb lost to home favourite Sinner earlier in the week in the group stage, but exacted sweet revenge with a sublime display to claim a 6-3, 6-3 victory.

A sell-out crowd in Turin's Pala Alpitour had hoped to cheer the 22-year-old Sinner to the biggest title of his career but Djokovic was simply in a different league.

The world number one dropped only two points on serve in a flawless opening set and once he had broken Sinner's serve in the fourth game it was largely one-way traffic.

At one point Djokovic won 14 points in a row against a player ranked fourth in the world before Sinner briefly slowed the march of the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
