The Career Golden Masters: A run-down of Djokovic's magnificent record

Novak Djokovic made history on Sunday by defeating Roger Federer in the final of the Cincinnati Masters.

In doing so, the Serbian became the first man to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles, adding that crown to his earlier successes in Miami, Montreal, Indian Wells, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Shanghai and Monte-Carlo.

The 13-time major champion took his Masters tally to a remarkable 31, from his 45th final, and extended his narrow head-to-head advantage over great rival Federer to 24-22.

After five previous Cincinnati final defeats - three of which were to the Swiss maestro - Djokovic belatedly broke his duck at the weekend to complete the set of Masters honours. Here's how he did it:
