ROME—World number one Novak Djokovic claimed his first title in over six months after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6–0 7–6(5) to win the Italian Open on Sunday.

Djokovic did not drop a set en route to the final in Rome, having picked up his 1,000th tour-level victory by beating Casper Ruud in the semifinal to book a clash with Tsitsipas—a repeat of last year’s French Open final, which the Serb won.
