Djokovic wins sixth Paris Masters title
World number one Novak Djokovic won a sixth Paris title and record 37th Masters crown on Sunday, beating 2020 champion Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the final.
The 34-year-old Serbian gained a measure of revenge over his Russian opponent who dashed his dreams of a Grand Slam sweep when he beat him in the US Open final in September.
The Masters title secured Djokovic's second record in as many days after he was confirmed as season-ending world number one for a seventh time. Medvedev said Djokovic -- who he calls his "friend" -- was stronger on the crucial points.
"I don't like losing so I cannot say I am happy, I don't even like losing at Play Station!" said Medvedev at his press conference.
"But I gave everything and maybe I could have done a winner here or there or served one or two more aces."When you lose a match you always have the feelings that you can do a bit better. Trouble was Novak won the crucial points and apart form the first set I did not.
"However, I take consolation in having given everything against the best player in the world of all time. It was a good battle."
