Novak Djokovic receives his trophy at Abu Dhabi
This is the first Abu Dhabi title for the top-ranked Djokovic, who earlier beat Gael Monfils and then swept past Roger Federer en route to the final.
The fifth-ranked Ferrer had upset second-ranked Rafael Nadal in the semis but had no answer for Djokovic. He broke the Spaniard five times and took 3-0 leads in both sets.
Earlier, Nadal played with an ailing shoulder but defeated Federer 6-1, 7-5 for third place in the $250,000 winner-takes-all six-man tournament, a warmup for the ATP season.
