In their first meeting since Murray’s win in the US Open final, Djokovic triumphed 5-7 7-6 (13-11) 6-3.
Murray edged the first set, which had seven breaks of serve, with Djokovic reacting angrily by smashing a racket.
Djokovic saved five match points in the second set before taking the tie-break and breaking Murray twice in the third.
In a top-class match, the British world
number three showed plenty of the form he displayed in beating world
number one Roger Federer in Saturday’s semi-finals but Djokovic – who
had lost his last two matches against the Scot, at Flushing Meadows and
in the Olympic semi-final at Wimbledon – threw everything at him.
