THE TENNIS KING IS CROWNED: Djokovic won the cup for the best in the world! (PHOTO)

Even before participating in the tournament in Turin, it was known that Novak Djokovic would finish the year on the ATP list as the first. And since that is already the case, it was time for the tennis king to be crowned.

Our tennis player was awarded a trophy, which is awarded to the best player at the end of each calendar year. Not to emphasize that this is a record seventh title for Djokovic…

  • The most difficult thing in our sport is to end the year as number one. It takes a lot of consistency, success in all tournaments. This is a trophy for my family, my team, I am grateful to everyone.

Djokovic thus broke the record of Pete Sampras, who was the best six times at the end of the year.

  • I was four or five years old when Sampras played at Wimbledon for the first time. I asked for a racket and immediately fell in love with tennis. Being aware that I’m holding the record now, and that I’m ahead of Pete, that’s amazing.

In the end, Djokovic also thanked the audience in Turin who supported him in the match with Casper Ruud, who fell easily.

  • Good day to all, good day to Turin, Italy. We have a beautiful event in Turin, everything is great organized and I am happy that the tournament was moved here. The best players in the world came here to Turin to play in front of you. Thank you for this wonderful support, I understand Italy as a second home, I played here as a kid, and my first coach was an Italian, Riccardo Piatti, who is now with Sinner.

In the end, Djokovic pointed out that for the sake of the home crowd and his great friend Matteo Berrettini, he hopes that the injury of the Italian tennis player is not serious and that he will be able to continue participating in the tournament.

Djokovic is now waiting for the day of the break, so he will later find out the schedule in the second round, where his rival, for the first time in his career, is Andrey Rublev.
