Novak Djokovic claimed his third ATP World Tour title in a perfect season by beating top-seeded Spaniard Rafa Nadal 4-6 6-3 6-2 in the final of the Indian Wells ATP tournament on Sunday.
The unstoppable Serb shrugged off the loss of the opening set to outlast the world number one in a gripping match lasting two hours 25 minutes at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, extending his remarkable record for the year to 18-0.
Australian Open champion Djokovic, who overcame Swiss world number two Roger Federer in the last four, broke Nadal twice in the final set before sealing victory when the Spanish left-hander netted a forehand.
It was the Serb's second triumph in the elite ATP Masters 1000 event at Indian Wells, having first won the title here as a 20-year-old in 2008.
