Federer beats Djokovic for fifth title at Cincinnati Ohio, August 20, 2012
Roger Federer stormed past Novak Djokovic 6-0, 7-6 (9-7) on Sunday to deliver a crushing title
victory at the Cincinnati Masters, an event he has now won a record five times.
Federer won his 76th career title ? in 79 minutes, finishing with eight aces, 28 winners and
never facing a break point.
“It’s been a long summer,” said the Wimbledon champion. “The change from grass to hard courts is
not easy but we all have to do it. “Even with how well I’m playing you never expect yourself to win
these big matches. It’s been a great week for me.”
John Still the Best of McEnroes
March 04, 1991 CHICAGO
John found no particular joy in beating younger brother Patrick in the battle of the McEnroes
on Sunday.
Six years ago, John defeated Patrick, 6-2, 6-1, in a tournament at Stratton, Vt.
This time, 32-year-old John, down a set, struggled to a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Patrick, 24,
in the final of the Volvo Indoor.
John got his 77th career tournament victory, and denied Patrick his first, in the third men's final
involving brothers. Gene Mayer beat Sandy Mayer at Stockholm in 1981 and Emilio Sanchez beat
Javier Sanchez at Madrid in 1987.
