Roger Federer defeated world number one Novak Djokovic 7-6 (7/1), 6-3 on Sunday to win his seventh ATP Cincinnati Masters title.

Federer denied Djokovic a first Cincinnati crown, leaving it the only one of the elite Masters titles the Serb has never won.

With the win, world number three Federer will regain the number two ranking that Andy Murray grabbed with his triumph in Montreal last week -- just in time to make Federer the second seed at the US Open starting on August 31.
