Djokovic dominates Shapovalov to win 5th Paris Masters title

Djokovic served out the match with a love hold, hitting a forehand winner before turning to look at his box and raising his arms in triumph.

"It was my best serving performance of the tournament," Djokovic said. "Denis maybe lost his focus a bit."

Shapovalov entered the match with only one career title — a modest ATP 250-level tournament in Stockholm last month — and having lost his three previous encounters against a 16-time Grand Slam winner considered among the all-time greats of tennis.
