Novak Djokovic has cruised to the Shanghai Rolex Masters title beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final. The 6-2 6-4 win brought up back-to-back wins in Chinese events for the world No.1, who was also successful in Beijing last week. Djokovic extended his winning record to 17 consecutive matches and 21 sets in a row as he captured his ninth title of the year in one-sided fashion. The Shanghai title was Djokovic's fifth ATP Masters 1000 crown of the year and the 25th of his career.
