Novak Djokovic dominates with an iron fist on the slopes and in the ATP ranking. The Serbian, world number one, who only needed a victory in Turin to secure that position for the rest of the year, went further and had a great Masters Cup to lift the title and further establish himself on the throne of planetary tennis. .
Among two of his victims were two of the candidates to lift the crown in the coming years. Carlos Alcaraz first, in the semifinals, and Jannick Sinner later, in the grand final. ‘Nole’s’ big moment was too much for the rest of the “masters.”
With his seventh victory at the ATP Finals he became the leader among the winners of this tournament and guaranteed his eighth number one trophy of the year. It was the best finishing touch to reach his 400th week at the top of the ATP rankings. A huge record that leaves far behind the 310 weeks of Roger Federer, the 286 of Pete Sampras or, even further, the 209 of Rafa Nadal.
A brutal season
The 11,245 points that Djokjovic has are the consequence of a scandalous season, with six titles (three Grand Slam and two Masters 1,000 category).

Just behind is Carlos Alcaraz, who last year was the one who had the honor of finishing the year in first place and who this year came to challenge him for the throne but finally succumbed to the Serbian’s power, finishing far away in points (8,855). His victory against Daniil Medvedev in the group stage of the Turin tournament assured him second place at the end of the year, leaving the Russian at 7,600 points.
The local idol and finalist in the ATP Finals, Jannick Sinner, is fourth in the standings, ahead of Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev, Holger Rune, Hubert Hurkacz and Taylor Fritz.
