This Sunday’s victory over Sinner, however, made the Serb absolute in the competition among the eight best placed in the world rankings. Namely, the Finals title was Novak Djokovic’s seventh of the season.
At 36 years old and leader of the ranking, he also established himself as the greatest Grand Slam champion in history among men with victories at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open, thus reaching the same 24 titles as Australian Margaret Court. In 2023, the Serb just didn’t win Wimbledon.
It’s worth remembering that Djokovic and Sinner had already faced each other in the group stage of the Finals. On that occasion, the Italian won the match and surprised everyone with the best campaign of his career. He underwent mental training with the doctor of Formula 1’s elite drivers and traveled to Turin determined to compete in the decision.
