Novak Djokovic starts the new season in the best possible way with a title in Abu Dhabi at the prestigious Mubadala World Tennis Championship at the International Tennis Centre in Zayed Sports City.
The world no.1 had to battle hard in the final against a good Kevin Anderson to beat the South African 4-6 7-5 7-5. The 31-year-old won the match after a 30-shot rally that ended with a glorious forehand that put the crowd on fire.
