Novak Djokovic won ATP World Tour Title

Novak Djokovic capped a remarkable season with victory over Roger Federer to claim a record fourth straight ATP World Tour Finals Title. The world number one from Serbia broke serve three times to win 6-3 6-4 in 80 minutes at London O2 Arena. Djokovic also made amends for defeat by six time champion Federer in group stage.

He ends the year with 11 titles including three Grand Slams taking his total to 10 majors. The 28 year old has now won the season Finale five times and surpasses Ivan Lendl’s 1987 achievement, when he won his third straight Tour Finals title in New York. The defeat by Federer has been his first Indoor since 2012, but Djokovic responded in simply irresistible style as he dispatched first Rafael Nadal and then in the final, Roger Federer.

It ended with a double fault as even the 17 time Grand Slam Champion wilted under the pressure of such relentless accuracy from his opponent. Aside from the trophy, another 1300 ranking points and the cheque for Euro 1.4m, Djokovic draws level with Federer at 22-22 in career meetings. The pair has shared 11 of the best 13 season ending titles between them, but it is the Serb who now dominates.

Djokovic victory ended Federer chance of overtaking Andy Murray in the rankings, meaning the British will end the year as world Number two for the first time. Federer had been quick to play down the significance of his group stage win and Djokovic did indeed prove a very different opponent in the final just as he had at Wimbledon and US Open. Djokovic was within two sets of winning the calendar Grand Slam this year, losing out to an inspired Stan Wawrinka in the French Open Final but completing his set of majors will not be the only target for 2016.
