Novak Djokovic (Front) of Serbia dances with the ballkids during the victory ceremony for the men's singles final against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France at the 2012 China Open tennis tournament held in Beijing, capital of China, on Oct. 7, 2012. Djokovic won the match 2-0 and claimed the title.

The first set would be a back and forth affair as the two traded blows, and the opener would head to a tiebreak.

But there, Djokovic would hold firm downing Tsonga 7-3 in the tiebreak to take set one.

After a closely contested first set the second, would be very one-sided as Tsonga faltered and Djokovic took control. The Serb, cruising to a 6-2 second set win to take the China Open title in straight sets. The world number two, winning his third career title in Beijing and his 65th match of the season, the most of any player on the ATP Tour.
