Intro:

World number one Novak Djokovic puts in a dominant display to beat Roger Federer 6-4 6-3 and win his second consecutive Italian Open final.

Script:

Novak Djokovic crushed Roger Federer 6-4 6-3 to retain his Italian Open title.

There was nothing to separate the pair before the tenth game; Djokovic breaking Federer and claiming the set.

At the foot of Monte Mario it was downhill from there for Djokovic. The world number one breaking Federer immediately in the second before sealing his fourth Rome crown.

SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, world number one:

"Roger played really well throughout the entire week, hadn't dropped a set. Today I served well, stayed aggressive, calm in the right moments and all in all it was a great performance, and I am looking forward to Paris (French Open)."

That's five trophies this season for Djokovic but one prize is conspicuous by its absence; next week's French Open is the only Grand Slam to elude the 27-year-old's grasp.
