The 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will enter the ATP Final event in Turin with an eye on breaking another record
The 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will enter the ATP Final event in Turin with an eye on breaking another record. This season, the Serbian equalled Rafael Nadal's all-time record of 22 men's major singles titles at the Australian Open before blowing past it with victories at Roland Garros and the US Open. He also set a new ATP Masters 1000 record by winning his 39th and 40th championships in Cincinnati and Paris.
If he wins again in Turin this year too Djokovic will win his eighth ATP Finals title, breaking a tie with Roger Federer for the most wins at the renowned year-end event.
The 24-time major champion is well aware of the records he is attempting to shatter. While honouring the past, he remains focused on the present.
"I try to be a good student of the game and keep track with the numbers, but at the same time, I also want to be able to just direct my attention to the next challenge. As long as I'm an active player, I guess that's going to be the mentality I will nurture," Djokovic was quoted as saying by ATP.
The next challenge will demand every ounce of concentration from the Serbian as he battles with the greatest champions of the 2023 ATP Tour season. After suffering a stomach virus during his Paris title run, Djokovic said he felt better after the final and was excited to move on to Turin.
