Djokovic Takes BNP Paribas Masters Title.



Novak Djokovic for the 2nd week in a row claimed an ATP title.  This time it was the last Masters Series event in Paris, France.  Djokovic had to defeat Gael "Monchichi" Monfils in the final.

The first set was all Djokovic.  Steamrolling to an easy 6-2 set.  The final looked like it was going to go quick.  Monfils to his credit hung tough and squeaked out the 2nd set 7-5.  The 3rd set the momentum was back with Djokovic, racing out to a 4-2 lead and serving to put the match out of reach.  Monfils once again hung tough and the Frenchman fed off the home crowd to pull back even in the match at 6-6.  It just wasn't enough though.  Djokovic took control of the tiebreak to win the match 6-2, 5-7, 7-6.  Djokovic looks to be on a hot streak right now.  He's definetly one to watch at the World Tour Finals in London.
