Many people believe Novak Djokovic to be the best player on the planet. Winning the 2022 ATP Finals gave them another reason to applaud him. This may be another trophy in his trophy cabinet, but is also a gigantic statement in itself.

Novak Djokovic had to wait for a long time to win his career’s sixth ATP Finals trophy. He won his first ATP Finals title in 2008 when he defeated the Russian Nikolay Davydenko. He later won the prestigious title four times consecutively between 2012-2015. The Serb even managed to defeat Roger Federer thrice, i.e., in 2012, 2014, and 2015, in the final to take the trophy home.

He also defeated Rafael Nadal in 2013 in the final. After that, he reached the Final round twice but was defeated by Andy Murray and Alexander Zverev in 2016 and 2018.

Meanwhile, social media is in a festive mood and going berserk after Novak Djokovic’s win. Several viewers chimed in to provide their take on the matter. Judging by the comments, while the majority of commenters hailed the two legends, a few even congratulated Novak for his incredible feat. Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here are a few reactions coming in on the above post.

This win will give a great boost to his confidence. He had to go through a lot to come out on top this year. Many controversies hit him on the way this season. But the Serbian, like always, has found a way to bounce back. It has never been easy for him but as they say-Never underestimate the master!
