Top-ranked Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win the Shanghai Masters on Sunday, giving the Italian his tour-leading seventh title of the season.

The Italian bettered the 24-time Grand Slam champion 7-6 (4), 6-3 in an hour and 37 minutes and never faced a break point in the outdoor hard-court tournament.

Sinner hit eight aces and 22 winners to four and 12, respectively, for Djokovic. Djokovic was aiming for his 100th tour-level title and his fifth in Shanghai.

Only Jimmy Connors with 109 titles and Roger Federer with 103 have hit the century mark in men's tennis. Sinner became the first man to win more than six titles in a season since Andy Murray won nine in 2016.
