Djokovic wins superb Paris final

Djokovic holds aloft his fifth title of the year after winning in Paris

World number three Novak Djokovic survived a stunning fightback from Frenchman Gael Monfils to claim victory at the Paris Masters 6-2 5-7 7-6 (7-3).

The Serb broke twice to win the first set and then raced into a 3-0 lead in the second with some flawless tennis.

But home favourite Monfils showed great spirit to hit back and when he levelled at one-set each the crowd came alive.

They traded breaks in the decider and it took a tie-breaker to separate them as Djokovic eventually won it 7-3.

The win was Djokovic's fifth of the year and continues his brilliant recent run which also saw him win the Swiss Indoor final against Roger Federer last week.

But Monfils can take heart from a gutsy performance in his first Masters final and he caused Djokovic - who thrashed Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals on Saturday - all kinds of problems.

The Paris-born world number 16 struggled in the early stages and was broken in only his second service game.

Despite having the advantage of the partisan home crowd, the 15th seed could find no answer and Djokovic took the opening set when Monfils doubled faulted on set point.

A flying Djokovic raced into an early lead in the second set before suddenly Monfils hit back, holding a tricky service game before breaking back to send the crowd into raptures.

When Monfils held it was 3-3 and it looked like going to a tie-breaker, until Monfils broke the Djokovic serve at 6-5 to get the crowd off their feet and he then held to stun the Serb and take it to a deciding set.

Djokovic once again got off to a flier and after a stunning rally that had both players gasping for breath he broke to lead 2-0 and then 4-1, but Monfils would not go away and he showed amazing resilience to peg it back to 4-4.

It went to a tie-breaker and Djokovic held his nerve to deny Monfils victory on his home turf.
