Novak Djokovic has admitted that Roger Federer deserved his win in the final of the Cincinnati Open.
The world number one defeated the Serbian 6-0 7-6 to lift the trophy for a record fifth time.
"He started off really well and I made a lot of double faults and errors," said Djokovic. "I had my chances in the second set and I missed them and he deserved the win."
Federer and Djokovic have now beaten each other twice this year.
