Djokovic has finished the tennis year as world number six six times and is the best in history together with Pete Sampras.

Djokovic has first place as one of the goals for the end of the season.

- It's about me or Medvedev to finish as world number one and I'm in a good position if you look at ranking points and looking at the remaining program.

It is a goal for the end of the season, as well as to do well in the Davis Cup with my national team, Djokovic says according to Reuters.

Stockholm Open participant Murray plays tonight

Medvedev, who is almost 2,000 points behind Djokovic on the world best list, is also in the tournament.

Both he and Djokovic are over today, where Andy Murray (received a wildcard), who will play in the Stockholm Open next week, goes against the qualifier Jenson Brooksby tonight.

Djokovic had an intense schedule until the US Open and has since rested from tournaments.

Despite the long rest, he feels tired ahead of the tournament in Paris and the ATP play-off in Turin on November 14-21, followed by the Davis Cup, which begins on November 25.

That tournament can last until December 5 if you go to the final.

- I have been in similar situations before and been exhausted but somehow found strength and ended the year strong, says Djokovic.
