Chinanews.com, November 7th. In the early morning of the 17th Beijing time, the ATP250 Sofia station sign was officially announced. Nadal, who ranked second in the world, did not appear in the sign list.
After Nadal determined that he would not play in Sofia, the world's number one Djokovic officially locked in the ATP year-end number one this year.
This is the sixth time in Djokovic's career that he has won the honor of year-end first, and he has succeeded in surpassing his Federer and Nadal, and tied with Sampras for the first in history.
Djokovic had previously won the year-end first in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
The 33-year-old Djokovic became the oldest ATP year-end first-winner since the Open.
In the past 17 years, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have won the year-end first place 16 times. The last time a player other than Fenademu won No. 1 at the end of the year has been back to Roddick in the 2003 season.
It is worth mentioning that this week Xiaode's world ranking first week reached 293 weeks, second only to Federer's 310 weeks.
If he can maintain, he will surpass Federer on March 8, 2021.
