Djokovic had a slow start as Nick claimed the first set but he soon became tenacious in the second set, saving four break points and won the set in a rallied from 0-40 at 5-3. 

The Serb continued to have the game control in the third which he won and only committed two unforced errors. Though the fourth set entered a tiebreak, Nick pretty much drifted as he won the championship point on the Aussie's backhand return to the net.
