Top seed Novak Djokovic claimed his first title since winning Wimbledon in July with a dominant display against Marin Cilic at the Tel Aviv Open.
Djokovic, 35, did not face a break point in the first set as he beat second seed Cilic in his first final since his All England Club triumph.
The world number seven never looked likely to drop his first set of the tournament in a 6-3 6-4 victory.
Djokovic had played one other event since his 21st Grand Slam title win.
Djokovic was ruled out of the US Open in August and September after being unable to enter the United States because of his coronavirus vaccination status.
