Novak Djokovic trains with giant racket ahead of US Open
The Serbian became the first singles player to complete the Golden Masters as he beat Roger Federer in the Cincinnati Masters final on Sunday.
Djokovic cruised to a 6-4 6-4 win over his long-running rival to clinch the only Masters 1000 tournament he had yet to win.
Five years after securing his eighth different crown, the former world number one was able to claim the elusive ninth and final title of the set, having lost five previous finals in Cincinnati - three to Federer.
Speaking after the match, Djokovic said: "Obviously it's a very special moment to stand here for the first time with the winning trophy here in Cincinnati.
"The hard times I went through, it's been a rollercoaster ride in my career with injury, taking time off and having a surgery earlier this year.
“This seems a bit unreal to be back at this level."
Djokovic has been seeded sixth for the US Open, with world top two Rafael Nadal and Federer taking the top two seedings respectively.
The tournament gets underway on Monday, August 27 at Flushing Meadows in New York.
