After Novak Djokovic’s historic title run at the ATP Finals, we’re taking stock of the impressive achievement put forth by the 35-year-old. What exactly does it all mean? First, it means that the 21-time major champion is in prime position to make a run at No.1 in 2023, but that’s not all.
Join us for a look inside the numbers…
6 – Djokovic ties Roger Federer on the all-time list for Nitto ATP Finals titles, leaving behind Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl (5).
35 – At 35 years of age, Djokovic is 5 years older than the previous oldest Nitto ATP Finals champion. That was Roger Federer, who was 30 when he won his last title at the O2 in London, in 2011.
7 – Years since Djokovic last won the ATP Finals title (2015).
3 – Djokovic is the first player in history to win ATP Finals titles in three different decades. He won his first in 2008, then knocked off four in a row from 2012 to 2015, before rolling to the title this year.
$4,740,300 – Djokovic, who went undefeated in Turin this year at 5-0, earns a record prize money payout of 4.7403 million dollars. Whoah.
