I am very proud of the performance these last two days against Alcaraz and Sinner, probably the best two players in the world next to me and Medvedev at the moment, and the way they have been playing I had to step it up.

Djokovic entered Sunday’s finals tied with his Swiss counterpart Roger Federer at the season-ending tournament for the year’s top eight players.

Djokovic became the first person in tennis history to remain World No.1 for 400 weeks and also became the first man to win the ATP Finals seven times.

  • Extended his men’s record of 373 weeks and surpassed Steffi Graf‘s record of 377 weeks as World No.1 to 400.
  • Extended his record of 6 ATP Finals which was previously tied with Federer to 7.
  • Extended his record of 57 Masters finals to 58.
  • Extended his record of seven year-end No.1 ranking finishes to eight.
  • For the first time since 2016, when Andy Murray won the ATP Finals, the World No.1(Novak Djokovic) has won the ATP Finals.
  • Djokovic is the second male player in the Open era to win 55+ matches in a single season after turning 35 after Ken Rosewall.
  • 14 years and 9 days is the largest gap between the WTA (Iga Swiatek) and ATP (Novak Djokovic)finals winners in a year. The previous largest gap was between Steffi Graf and Ivan Lendl (9 years and 99 days).

Djokovic has now possibly cemented his place as the ‘greatest of all time’ over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. He will start his new season in Australia as World No.1 and will be an overwhelming favorite to win the Australian Open once again.
