Tennis-Djokovic caps number one debut with record Masters title

MONTREAL, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic stopped American Mardy Fish 6-2 3-6 6-4 to win the Montreal Masters on Sunday, capping his competitive

 debut as world number one with a record-setting title.

The Serb became the first to capture five Masters Series events in a single campaign, and in doing so extended his season's win-loss tally to 53-1.
Not since Pete Sampras in 1993 has a player captured an ATP tournament in his debut as number one.
Back in action for the first time since his Wimbledon victory, Djokovic has quickly found his footing on the Canadian hardcourts, lifting his ninth title of the season and dropping a single set along the way.
