Djokovic followed up his semi-final rout of Rafael Nadal on Saturday by halting a magnificent week by Fish, who defeated three top-10 opponents on his way to the final, including world number one Roger Federer on Saturday.

Fish did not succumb easily, rallying from a 4-2 deficit in the second set by breaking the Serb twice to force a decisive third set.

Djokovic, though, broke the unseeded American in the second game for a 2-0 lead en route to his second title of the year and the first-place check of 555,000 US dollars. He also won the Australian Open in January.

It was the second straight appearance in the final for Djokovic, who lost to Nadal in the title match a year ago while the loss denied Fish his third career title and first since Houston last year.

During his improbable run to the final here, Fish reeled off victories over number 31 Igor Andreev, fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko, two-time champion Lleyton Hewitt, world number seven David Nalbandian and Federer.

Ranked number 98 in the world, Fish handed Federer his most lopsided defeat since the Swiss superstar climbed atop the world rankings 215 weeks ago. It also ended Federer's 41-match winning streak against Americans, dating to a loss against Andy Roddick in August of 2003.

Djokovic improved to 2-0 lifetime against Fish, having also beaten him at the US Open in 2006.
