Novak Djokovic wins Rogers Cup with victory over Mardy Fish in final

? World No1 becomes first player to win five ATP titles in a year
? Victory in Montreal is Djokovic's ninth title win of 2011

Novak Djokovic won his ninth title of 2011 with a hard-fought win over the American Mardy Fish in the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

The 24-year-old Serbian, who has won 53 of the 54 matches he has played this year, beat Fish 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. He broke Fish's serve in the fifth game of the deciding set and held on to that advantage to the end.

With this success Djokovic, the world No1, has become the first player to win five ATP Masters events ? tournaments at the level just below the four majors ? in the same season.

"History-making, of course it's special," Djokovic said. "Of course, it's an honour and privilege to be part of the history of the sport that I love and that I play.

"I'm still 24. I still have lots of desire to win all the tournaments that I play."
