Djokovic’s Shanghai delight

Top seed Novak Djokovic retained the Shanghai Masters title by edging sixth seed Juan Martin Del Potro in a thrilling three-set final.

The Serbian toppled the Argentine 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7/3) for his seventh ATP crown of the year, giving his hopes of overhauling Rafael Nadal for the end-of-year world number one spot a slight boost.

Djokovic dominated the first set, breaking Del Potro’s serve in games two and four.
