Novak Djokovic Win Rogers Cup

 

Novak Djokovic got back to winning ways ahead of the Olympic Games by beating Kei Nishikori in straight sets in the Rogers Cup final in Toronto. The world No 1's hopes of a calendar Grand Slam were shattered at Wimbledon after a shock third round exit against Sam Querrey but he put that disappointment behind him in Canada, winning 6-3 7-5 ahead of his bid to win gold in Rio. 

Victory here ensured Djokovic's fourth Rogers Cup triumph and secured his 30th ATP Masters title. The 29years old had won each of the past eight meetings between the pair going into the final and looked sure to make it nine when he took the opening set in just over 30 minutes.

However, Djokovic had to dig deep during a spirited back and forth in the final stages of the hardcourt match before eventually overcoming Nishikori, who is ranked sixth in the world. Djokovic said he found form at the right time in Toronto, taking the opening matches to get his rhythm back following his early exit in London.
