After dominating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight
sets in the ATP final on Sunday in Astana, Novak Djokovic won his 90th career
title and fourth in 2022.
In 75 minutes, the 35-year-old Djokovic prevailed
6-3, 6-4 to add this trophy to those he has already won this year in Israel,
Rome, and Wimbledon.
The fourth seed won his ninth straight match, and
as a result of the victory, he secured a place at the 2022 ATP Finals.
A week ago, the Serb triumphed in Tel Aviv, his
first singles match since claiming his seventh Wimbledon victory and 21st Grand
Slam championship in July.
He was banned from the US Open and the entire
North American hard court swing over his refusal to be vaccinated before
returning for Roger Federer’s farewell in the Laver Cup team event in London
last month.
