The 26-year-Old Serb beat Spaniard Ferrer, who was appearing in his second Paris finals in Roland Garos and Bercy, 7-5, 7-5 in one hour and 52 minutes. The victory sees him hoist his second trophy in the Paris tournament (first was in 2009) and was his sixth crown of the year after victories at the Australian Open, in Dubai, Monte Carlo, Beijing and Shanghai.

Djokovic is the 15th player in the Open Era to make the forty- title club, and the third active player along with Roger Federer and Nadal.

“I am definitely playing the best tennis this year now,” the Belgrade native said. “I’m playing on a very high level and have lots of confidence in myself, in my game.”

The world number two kept alive his hopes of finishing year-end World number one for the third consecutive year as well after drawing 1000 Emirates ATP ranking points from the victory.

“I knew that coming into the match I’m going to have to work for my points… He’s a great competitor, one of the most respected guys on tour because he works hard and he’s very humble and he’s a very nice person,” Djokovic said of Ferrer.
