( CNN ) A ruthless Roger Federer confidently dispatched World No 1 . Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 to take the Dubai Tennis Championships title Saturday in little over one hour and 36 minutes . The Swiss master , appearing in his 126th tour final ( of which he has now won 84 ) was at his imperious best , frustrating Djokovic who could do little to stem the variety of forehand , backhand and volleyed winners coming from the other side of the net . `` I do n't think I could have played much better , '' Federer said on court after the match . Federer edged ahead in game seven of the first , breaking Djokovic before confidently serving out for the set . A critical double fault by Djokovic at 5-5 in the second handed his on-form opponent the upper hand . Federer then took the final game on serve to ensure he would win the Dubai title for the seventh time . The match also saw Federer serve up the 9,000th ace of his career , becoming only the fourth man to achieve the feat since 1991 . `` Clearly it is nice to get past that so now I do n't have to think about it ever again for the next 9,000 or so , '' he joked . A magnanimous Djokovic later congratulated Federer on his victory . `` Today he was just the better player on the court , '' the Serb said . `` There was not much I could do . '' `` ( Federer ) did n't miss much . I think he missed one or two volleys the entire match .
