Roger Federer responds to Olympic defeat to Andy Murray with 'great final' in Cincinatti

 

The world number one thrashed Novak Djokovic 6-0 7-6 to win his fifth Cincinnati title and continue a fantastic summer which has seen him win Wimbledon and a silver medal at the Olympics.

He said afterwards to have a “great final” was the perfect response to the Olympic final defeat to British number one Andy Murray which saw him lose nine games in a row at one point.

"I've had a magical summer,” the 17-time major winner said. “I feel good about New York - but I'm going to savour this one for a bit.

“I came here and never dropped my serve. That's the kind of reaction I want to see from myself. I didn't have a letdown."

“This was probably the best week ever here in Cincinnati for me never dropping my serve and beating Novak in the final. This was very sweet. No doubt about it."
