LONDON - Novak Djokovic capped off a phenomenal autumn by defending his ATP World Tour Finals title with an impressive 6-3, 6-4 win over Rafael Nadal in a duel between the two dominant players of the season on Monday night. Vapormax Schwarz Herren Schweiz . Theres no doubt Djokovic is the man to beat on indoor hard courts. And just for the record, his 22 consecutive wins to finish 2013 matched top-ranked Nadals best stretch of the year. Djokovics winning run started after a U.S. Open final defeat to Nadal, and during a span when the Spaniad replaced him atop the rankings. "The most positive thing that I can take from those 2 1/2 is the fact that I managed to regroup after a few big losses against Nadal, especially in Roland Garros, U.S. Open final and Wimbledon final," said Djokovic, who became the seventh player to win the elite season-ending tournament at least three times. His victory in London denied Nadal the only big trophy missing from his glittering CV. Having produced one of the most memorable comebacks in tennis, Nadal lost in a deciding match for the second time at the tour finals and missed the chance to join Andre Agassi as the only players to have won all four Grand Slams, Olympic gold, the Davis Cup and the year-end tournament. "Its not going to change my career, winning or losing today," Nadal said. "I am not very disappointed. I know that I was not the favourite for the match, even if I tried with the right attitude, in my opinion, fighting for every moment, trying to be positive in every moment, even if the match was not going the way that I would like." Mondays defeat was a strong warning to Nadal, who overhauled Djokovic for the No. 1 ranking last month, that his Serbian rival will be ready to extend his form into next years Australian Open, where he is the three-time defending champion. Djokovic has now beaten Nadal 10 times in 19 finals and is unbeaten since losing at the U.S. Open in September. "After the US Open final, of course, I needed to take things slowly and see and analyze what I did wrong, especially in the matches against him, to understand what I need to do in order to win against him," Djokovic said. "I think the results are showing that we had a great improvement in the last 2 1/2 months." Djokovic returned superbly from the start to move his Spanish rival around the court and prevent him from dictating the points. Nadal, playing on his less favourite surface, hit only nine winners and was broken three times. "If I can say about one thing that makes the difference in todays match was the serve — I didnt serve well, he served well," Nadal said. "So in this kind of court, first shot is very important, and he did that first shot much better than me." Nadal return to the No. 1 ranking came on the back of a stunning comeback from a career-threatening knee injury. Since returning in February, the Spaniard has won 75 matches —losing only 7 —to win 10 titles including the French Open, the U.S. Open and five Masters 1000 events. But Djokovic proved again that he still has the upper hand on hard courts by extending his head-to-head winning record to 13-7 on that surface against Nadal. "Year-end No. 1 is deservedly in Nadals hands because he had two Grand Slam wins, the best season out of all players, the most titles," Djokovic said. "I think thats no doubt, cannot question that. I tried to put aside the calculations and the rankings after U.S. Open and just tried to focus on one tournament at a time, one day at a time. That kind of attitude has helped me to get to where I am at this moment." Djokovic made an impressive start, hitting powerful groundstrokes to keep Nadal well behind his baseline while limiting his own mistakes. Returning well, the Serb made the most of two of Nadals backhand errors to break in the second game. He had another chance in the fourth game after Nadal double-faulted, but was unable to convert. Nadal got into the match from that point. He put Djokovic under pressure with his huge forehands in the next game and two unforced errors from the Serb allowed him to break back and then level at 3-3. But Nadal faltered in his next service game as he served a double-fault at 30-30. After a stunning exchange, Djokovic broke for 5-3 following a series of volleys at the net. Standing in the middle of the court, the Serb opened his arms and screamed as the crowd erupted in cheers. Djokovic sealed the first set with an ace. Appearing supremely confident, Djokovic raised his game further in the second set, pinpointing his shots on the lines to make life more difficult for Nadal after breaking in the third game of the second set. The resilient Spaniard saved two match points and kept encouraging himself until the end, but a final forehand too long gave Djokovic the title. Djokovic will now focus on the Davis Cup final later this week in Belgrade, where he will lead Serbia against defending champion Czech Republic.

Theyre better than this, and they didnt show it.Attanasio and Melvin held a 20-minute news conference near the Brewers dugout at Miller Park to discuss the season. Melvin said the fates of manager Ron Roenicke and his coaching staff have not been decided.Theres a lot of euphemisms weve heard, Attanasio said. Weve heard heart. Weve heard leadership. And weve heard urgency. We just didnt get the job done. There was a job that needed to get done, and it didnt get done.Melvin said the teams offence tail-off will be analyzed a€” the Brewers hit .229 in their first 24 September games.My biggest concern about the entire season is these losing streaks, Melvin said. Why do we go 2-11 before the All-Star break? And we went 6-22 last May. ... In the end, were going to be 81, 82 or 83 wins, which is probably going to be about six-to-seven wins away from making the playoffs.Attanasio has owned the Brewers since 2004 but said this will be the first year he doesnt address the team at the end of the season.I dont because Im too unhappy, he said. Whats the point of another meeting dwelling on things?Instead, he said he was spending time meeting with individual players this weekend. Vapormax Plus Outlet. I havent handled it well, honestly, Attanasio said. I havent slept. Going into September, Doug and I were still working everything we could to get the team into the playoffs.Milwaukee fell out of first place on Sept. 1.Frankly, into mid-September I believed in this team and thought they were going to turn it around, Attanasio said. They just didnt.Melvin said it is too early to say whether the Brewers will make major roster changes. He doesnt want players to feel too comfortable.First off, I want to find out who cares about winning and losing in the clubhouse, Melvin said. If theres guys in there who dont care about winning, they probably wont be here.Ryan Braun, Jonathan Lucroy, Scooter Gennett, Carlos Gomez, Kyle Lohse, Wily Peralta, Matt Garza and Jonathan Broxton are among the players under contract for 2015.Closer Francisco Rodriguez can become a free agent; third baseman Aramis Ramirez and the team have a mutual option; Milwaukee has a team option on right-hander Yovani Gallardo.Roenickes contract is through 2015 with a team option for 2016. The coaches contracts expire on Oct. 31.Its not that easy to really understand what happened, Attanasio said. If it were wed have a quick response today. Its not like were delaying the decision because its uncomfortable. Were delaying the decision because we need to do the work to really sort through what happened. ' ' '
