Data map: Djokovic

　　China News Service, November 16th. Beijing time on the 15th, Djokovic received the year-end world number one trophy before the ATP year-end finals.

　　A few days ago, the ATP250 Sofia station sign was officially announced, and Nadal, who ranked second in the world, did not appear in the sign list.

After Nadal determined that he would not play in Sofia, he has no chance of reaching the top this season, and Djokovic, who is ranked number one in the world, has officially locked the first place in the ATP year-end this year.

　　This is the sixth time in Djokovic's career that he has won the honor of year-end number one. He has therefore successfully surpassed Federer and Nadal, and tied with Sampras for the first place in history.

Djokovic had previously won the year-end first in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018.

　　Not only that, the 33-year-old Djokovic became the oldest ATP year-end first-winner since the Open.

In the past 17 years, the "Big Three" Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer have won the year-end first place 16 times. The last time a player other than Fenademu won the year-end first place, it can be traced back to Roddick in 2003 .

　　It is worth mentioning that Xiaode's world ranking has reached 293 weeks cumulatively, second only to Federer's 310 weeks, ranking second in history.

If he can keep up, he will surpass Federer in March 2021.

　　Currently, Xiaode is participating in the ATP year-end finals in London.

According to the results of the tournament draw, this year's singles group is named after the "Tokyo 1970 Group" and "London 2020 Group" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ATP year-end finals.

　　The draw results showed that Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, and Schwarzman ranked in the 1970 group in Tokyo; Nadal, Tim, Sisipas and Lublev were in the 2020 group in London.

In the Tokyo group, Xiaode is considered the favorite to qualify.

Judging from past matches, Djokovic has an advantage over Medvedev, Zverev and Schwarzman.

　　Djokovic said in an interview before the game, "I look forward to achieving good results in London." (End)
