Novak Djokovic ‘not happy’ after ATP Finals win as he explains smashing two rackets | Tennis | Sport

The victory means that Djokovic will end the year as world No 1 after an extraordinary year in which he has won 52 of his 57 of his matches on the ATP Tour and collected three more Majors to add to his collection of 24 Grand Slams.

And he expressed his delight at managing to secure his status in the end-of-year tournament ahead of Carlos Alcaraz.

« It’s huge. It means a lot obviously. I knew coming into the tournament here I needed only one win to clinch the year-end No. 1, » he added. « I really wanted that to happen already tonight. I didn’t want to prolong in a way the situation and complicate in a way this particular goal. I’m really glad that I managed to do that tonight.

« It always has been a huge objective and huge goal of mine to be No. 1 in the world. Other than Grand Slams, that’s what counts the most. To finish off the year as No. 1 in the world at this stage of my life and career is something really amazing. »
