TURIN, Italy—Novak Djokovic received his trophy on Monday, Nov. 13, after securing the year-end No. 1 ranking for a record-extending eighth time.
Djokovic needed only one match win at the ATP Finals to be sure of keeping the top spot and the 24-time Grand Slam champion secured it in his opener, beating Holger Rune 7–6 (4), 6–7 (1), 6–3 in a match spanning more than three hours on Sunday and into Monday morning.
