Novak Djokovic ends a year as number one in the world rankings for the eighth time – a record. This marks his 400th week as number one as of November 20. The 36-year-old Serbian takes the missing victory in his first match at the ATP Finals in Turin.
However, he has to fight for more than three hours against the 20-year-old Dane Holger Rune (ATP 10) before the 7:6 (7:4), 6:7 (1:7), 6:3 victory is certain. “That means a lot to me,” Djokovic said after extending his record. “I really wanted this win today to take the monkey off my back, so to speak. Everything that comes now is a bonus.”
You can tell he really wanted to win. When he had to give up his serve for the third time in the match after the 2-0 win in the third set, he kicked two of his rackets so hard that they broke. After his second break in this round to make the score 4:2, he didn’t let anything go wrong.
Djokovic and Rune, recently trained by Boris Becker, played each other for the fourth time in a game over two winning sets, and for the fourth time the decision was only made in the third round. The veteran now leads a head-to-head lead of 3:2. (SDA)
