Djokovic defeats Coric to win Shanghai Open

Djokovic celebrates.

Serbian Novak Djokovic added the Rolex Masters trophy to his haul this year, when he defeated Borna Coric of Croatia.

He emerged victorious with a 6-3; 6-4 win.

The runner-up had pulled the greatest upset of the tournament by dispatching top seeded Roger Federer in the semifinals.

Djokovic has won all their three career meetings; starting with the second round in both Madrid 2016 and Monte Carlo in 2018.

Borna Coric’s run in Shanghai will move him to number 13 in the rankings. With the 1000 points he garnered for winning the title, Djokovic would change places with Roger Federer as world number two. Rafael Nadal remains number one and leads the pack in the race to the end-of-season event in London.
