Djokovic sweeps to Japan Open title

Top-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic capped a stellar week in Tokyo with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Australian John Millman in the final of the Japan Open on Sunday.

Djokovic, who didn’t drop a set all week, was playing in the event for the first time. It’s the 76th career title for the world No. 1 and third this year. It’s also the 10th time he’s won an event in his first appearance in the main draw.

In Beijing, top-seeded Dominic Thiem of Austria outlasted third-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to claim the China Open title. It’s the fourth title of the season for Thiem, who split the first two sets with Tsitsipas before running away with the third.
