Djokovic wins his first tournament of the year in Dubai.

World number three Novak Djokovic overcame David Ferrer 7-5, 6-3 to win the Dubai Championships.

The Serb edged out the Spanish fourth-seed in an entertaining, tight match.

Djokovic made hard work of the first set and dropped eight straight points when serving at 5-3 up before winning eight of the next nine to take the set.

The Serb led the second set 4-1, but Ferrer pulled it back to 4-3 before a double-fault left Djokovic to serve out the match, winning with an ace.
