With all desperation, Berdych finally got into the scoreboard as he broke Djokovic and then held on to his serve.

Djokovic, 27, went back to business and served out for the match and claimed his third consecutive title in Beijing 6-0 6-2.

"It was incredible, especially against Tomas, who has a big game and is an experienced player," Djokovic said. "Everything I tried worked. To be proud of the performance is the least I can say."

This is Djokovic's fifth ATP title of the year and this tournament in Beijing has a special place in his heart for he has a huge following where fans wait everyday outside his hotel to shower him with presents.

"I always take an extra bag so I can carry those presents back to Europe with me," Djokovic said. "I don't experience this level of support and loyalty anywhere in the world. These fans literally spend the whole day here in Beijing just for me, just to support me and spend a few minutes a day with me."
