The Serb currently owns a 49-11 record with four titles including the last two Grand Slams at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. He has gone 11-3 against the Top 10 and will bid for his sixth title at the ATP Finals next week.



“I'm satisfied of course and I'm going to be No. 1 tomorrow officially,” Djokovic said on Sunday in Paris. “And what more can I ask for? I mean, I won 20-plus matches in a row and had a most amazing last five months of the year. So I'm getting into season finale with a lot of confidence and feeling good about my game. Hopefully health-wise, physically I'll be fine in a week time when it all starts in London.”

With @RafaelNadal's withdrawal from #NittoATPFinals, @DjokerNole will be year-end No. 1 for 5th time in #ATP Rankings.

Djokovic sets records for lowest ranking (No. 22), worst 10-match start (5-5) and fewest pre-@Wimbledon titles (0) in same season as finishing year-end No. 1.
