The Story of the Season

Despite playing a limited schedule of 13 tournaments this year, including just four in the last five months of the season, the quality of Novak Djokovic’s results were so good that he still managed to finish at No. 4 on the ATP’s year-end rankings.

Among his highlights this year were his incredible 100th and 101st career titles, on clay in Geneva and on indoor hard courts in Athens, and reaching the semifinals of all four Grand Slams—one of only two men to do that this year, alongside Jannik Sinner. He was also the only player to defeat Carlos Alcaraz before the final at a Grand Slam this year, beating the Spaniard in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. And in Miami, he reached his milestone 60th career Masters 1000 final.

At the end of the day, his No. 4 finish was historic—not only was it his record-breaking 16th career Top 4 finish, surpassing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s 15, but at 38 years young he also became the oldest player to finish a year in the Top 4 in ATP rankings history, surpassing Federer for that record.—John Berkok
