Djokovic beats Nadal to win World Tour Finals

Nadal may have been world number 1, but it was Djokovic which sealed the year 2013 with a stunning win over Nadal at World Tour Finals' final at London's O2 Arena Monday night.

In fact Nadal did not offer any worthwhile reistance to the Serbian who successfully defended his title beating Nadal 6-3, 6-4.

Nadal might have earned the year-end number one ranking after his remarkable return from injury in February, but Djokovic denied him a first ATP Finals title and laid down a marker for battles to come in 2014.

Djokovic, 26, extended his unbeaten run to 22 matches as he claimed the season-ending title for the third time.

"It's the highest quality of tennis that you have next to Grand Slams, because every match that you play, you play against a top 10 player every second day," said Djokovic. "Especially this year, with back to back Paris Bercy tournament and London, wasn't easy for sure. I am very proud of the way that I managed to recover and perform better and better as the tournament went on."

Djokovic now proceeds to Belgrade, where Serbia take on the Czech Republic in the Davis Cup final from Friday.
