"It's a very special moment. It's the first time I get to stand with a winning trophy in Cincinnati."

Djokovic said.

The former world number one Swiss player who is currently ranked 2, would have made the 99 career titles win and would have leveled the head to head record with Djokovic. Serbian is now leading by 24-22.

Both of the tennis aces will now be looking for the US Open which will start on 27 August.

Djokovic was better than Federer in all aspects from the very first while the Swiss was struggling with everything. 

He also congratulated Djokovic and said:

"Congratulations to Novak for your amazing effort, not just this week, but throughout your whole career, it is an amazing achievement. It's been a great week, tough on the players but we had a fun time."
