Murray made a strong start to claim the opening set of the final 6-3 against the world number one, but was broken twice in the second set as the Serbian tournament favourite coasted through the second set in 33 minutes.
Djokovic broke Murray's serve in the second game courtesy of his opponent's double fault and tightened his grip in the remainder of the set, which he wrapped up when the Scot returned a serve into the net.
The Scot was broken to love in the opening game of the match, but roared back with four straight games to stung the top seed Djokovic, taking the opening set in just under an hour.
