It was a triumphant return to the tour for Djokovic, who had withdrawn from the US Open in the fourth round due to a shoulder injury, and it was the 10th time he had won a title on his tournament debut.
The top seeded Serb needed only 69 minutes to dispatch Millman - who was playing in his maiden ATP 500 final - and the 32-year-old won the title without dropping a set in the tournament.
Djokovic won a whopping 87 per cent of his first service points and fired six aces, never giving Millman a whiff of a break point. He also broke the 30-year-old Australian ranked 79 places below him three times in the match.
Djokovic has already qualified for next month's season-ending ATP Finals in London.
