Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic came out on top in a deciding-set tie-break to beat local favourite Gael Monfils and win the ATP Paris Masters.

The third seed clinched his fifth title of the season with a hard-fought 6-2 5-7 7-6 (7-3) triumph after two hours and 43 minutes on court.

However, playing in his 94th match of the year, the Serbian made hard work of ending his wait for a first Masters crown in 2009.

Drawing on the support of a partisan home crowd, Parisian Monfils battled back from a set and 3-0 down to push his rival all the way.
