He claimed his second ATP World Tour Finals title in 2012. He entered the tournament as the top seed and won all five of his matches in the group stage and the knockout rounds.

He came from a set down to beat Juan del Potro in the semis to set up a final clash with Roger Federer.

Djokovic sealed the season-ending title, recording a 7-6 (5), 7-5 victory over the Swiss maestro.

The Serbian star successfully defended his title in 2013, beating arch-rival Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 in the final.

Djokovic made it three titles in a row in 2014, but the way he captured the championship wasn’t satisfying.

He won the crown after his opponent, Federer, withdrew from the final. It was the first-ever walkover in a final in the event’s 45-year history.

He made history in 2015, winning his fourth straight ATP Finals title. Djokovic and Federer faced each other in the final, one year after the Swiss star withdrew from the championship match.

Djokovic replicated his victory in 2012, beating Federer in straight sets (6-3, 6-4) in the final to claim his fifth ATP Finals title.

All good things must come to an end, though. Djokovic failed to win the season-ending event the following six years, with other tennis stars taking the throne this time around.

He returned to winning ways in 2022, beating Casper Ruud 7-5, 6-3 in the championship match to capture his sixth ATP Finals crown.

It was a historic victory for Djokovic, who tied Federer’s record for most ATP Finals wins.

Djokovic made the record his own this year, beating Carlos Alcaraz in the semis and then hometown favourite Jannik Sinner in the championship match to win his seventh ATP Finals title, per ESPN.

Roger Federer (6 ATP Finals titles)

Federer first won this event in 2003, going unbeaten in five matches and beating tennis legend Andre Agassi 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 in the final.

He suffered a heartbreaking five-set loss to David Nalbandian in the 2005 final, denying him a chance for a three-peat.

He bounced back with a vengeance, winning back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007.

Federer defeated James Blake 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 in the 2006 final to win the season-ending event for the third time.

He then crushed David Ferrer 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in the 2007 final to claim his fourth Tour Finals title.

He captured the championship again in 2010, beating Rafael Nadal 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final.
