Proud: Roger Federer won a record fifth Cincinnati Masters title
By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER: Roger Federer bounced back from his Olympic final defeat in sensational style by comfortably seeing off Novak Djokovic to win the Western & Southern Open title. The world number one was beaten in straight sets by Andy Murray on the Wimbledon grass at London 2012, with the Scot avenging his loss in the final at SW19 to the Swiss four weeks earlier. But Federer has shown no signs of self-pity this week and brushed aside world number two Djokovic 6-0 7-6 (9/7) in 80 minutes to collect his fifth Cincinnati trophy and his 21st Masters 1000 crown - equalling Rafael Nadal's record. 
Record breaker: Federer cruised to victory over Novak Djokovic in straight sets

converting three of four break-point chances although Djokovic only put 50 per cent of his first serves in play and aided his opponent's cause with four double faults. It was the first time Federer had 'bagelled' the Australian Open champion and perhaps stung into action, Djokovic looked a lot more comfortable in a tighter second set, where there were nobreak point opportunities for either player. In the tie-break, the 25-year-old Serb held set point at 7-6 but it was ruthlessly wiped out by some attacking play at the net from Federer, who then closed out the match with two spectacular forehand winners. 'He started off really well and I made a lot of double faults and errors,' said Djokovic, who has now lost in all four of his Cincinnati finals.

'I had my chances in the second set and I missed them and he deserved the win,' added the Serb. The were no service breaks in the second set as Djokovic finally found his touch but Federer's outstanding backhand defence made for some entertaining rallies. The Swiss missed out on match-point in the tiebreak but made no mistake at the second attempt, a superb forehand winner putting an end to the contest.

However, she responded well to win the second set 6-3 and square the contest, before completing an impressive turnaround with a 6-1 third set triumph. It gave the 30-year-old a sixth WTA career title against a player who suffered defeat in a final for the second week in a row, following her loss to Petra Kvitova in the Rogers Cup last week.
