Novak Djokovic put an end to the story of number one by defeating Holger Rune.
He officially signed that no one will be able to overtake him at the top of the ATP list by the end of the year.
For a record eighth time, he will finish the season as the best in the world, and before the duel between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, he received the cup and addressed the fans present in Turin.
“Crown of the season! Ending the year as number one is the dream of every tennis player. One of the hardest things to do in our sport. Along with the Grand Slam being number one, these were the most important things for all players for many years. To be able to stand here, I’m blessed for that. I want to thank everyone, Goran, Marko Miljan, Carlos, everyone who was with me. It’s a team effort. I’m standing here alone, but I can’t wait to celebrate with them. This is a great achievement and I am very proud of it,” Djokovic said.
