He won the title without losing a set or having his serve broken for the second time, after 2012.[1] It marked the first time Federer defeated the world No. 1 and No. 2 players in consecutive matches en route to a title.[2] It was Djokovic's fifth runner-up finish without winning the title; he would eventually do so in 2018.
