TURIN, Italy — Novak Djokovic ended his tennis year just as he started it: setting records.
The top-ranked Djokovic won a record-breaking seventh ATP Finals title Sunday with a straight-sets victory over home favorite Jannik Sinner.
Djokovic took 1 hour, 43 minutes to win 6-3, 6-3 as the Serbian star continues to reach new heights at the age of 36.
He started 2023 with a record-extending 10th Australian Open title and went on to add his 23rd Grand Slam trophy at the French Open, breaking Rafael Nadal’s mark for men’s singles. Djokovic, who lost the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz, also won the U.S. Open.
“One of the best seasons I’ve had in my life, no doubt,” Djokovic said. “To crown it with a win against a hometown hero in Jannik, who has played amazing tennis this week, is phenomenal.”
