ATP Finals: Novak Djokovic beats Jannik Sinner to win record seventh title
Novak Djokovic – who won the ATP Finals previously in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2022 – has now eclipsed the record of six titles he shared with Roger Federer; following his 6-3 6-3 triumph over Jannik Sinner, the Serb said he wants a 'Golden Slam' in 2024
Monday 20 November 2023 07:58, UK
Novak Djokovic defeated home favourite Jannik Sinner at the ATP World Tour Finals in Turin to win the title for a record seventh time.
A ruthless Djokovic saw off Sinner in front of a passionate crowd, winning 6-3 6-3 to seal victory, after previously having lost to the Italian in the round-robin section of the competition.
Following his victory, the 36-year-old told reporters that he is eyeing a clean sweep of the majors next year as well as the singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, to claim a 'Golden Slam'.

Steffi Graf is the only player to have achieved the feat before, winning the Australian, French and US Opens, Wimbledon and a gold medal at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
"You can win four slams and an Olympic gold," Djokovic said. "I have always the highest ambitions and goals. That's not going to be different for the next year.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner said he was "very, very proud" of his season. "Four out of five tournaments... I couldn't ask for more to be honest," he added.
"It's a great reward for what my team and I have been through this year, being one of the most successful years in my career that I've ever had."
Djokovic breezes by Sinner to break ATP Finals record
Djokovic asserted his control early in Sunday's ATP Tour showpiece against Sinner, producing a near faultless opening set – dropping just two points on serve – as he added yet another milestone to his incredible career.
The world No 1, who first won the tournament in 2008, now stands alone having won the title seven times, beating the record of six titles he previously shared with Roger Federer.
Throughout the second set, the Serb kept the foot on the accelerator, breaking Sinner in the opening service game and refused to let up despite some spirited resistance from the 22-year-old.
At one point Djokovic won 14 points in a row against a player ranked fourth in the world before Sinner briefly slowed the march of the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Sinner avoided going a double break of serve down as Djokovic surprisingly failed to make a passing shot and Sinner then had points to break back in the sixth game but could not convert either of them.
Djokovic also failed to convert break points that would have given him a 5-2 lead as a few errors crept into his game.
The crowd tried their best to energise their man but Djokovic moved on towards victory and a Sinner double fault ended the contest. Djokovic moves past Federer to stand alone as the most successful player in the tournament's history.
His win concludes a year in which he won three of the four Grand Slam titles and seized back the world No 1 spot from Carlos Alcaraz and worryingly for the chasing pack he will head into 2024 looking as dominant as ever.
Brit Salisbury and partner Ram defend doubles title
Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram defended their ATP World Tour Finals men's doubles crown in style as they beat Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-3 6-4 in just over an hour.
The American-British extended their winning streak inside the Pala Alpitour to 10 matches after a blistering end to the year, which was sparked by the pair's triumph at Flushing Meadows as they claimed a third successive US Open title.
Since the first round in New York, they have won 17 of 19 matches – winning another tournament in Vienna along the way – and the sixth seeds certainly played like a team full of confidence on Sunday.
A Ram return winner against Granollers' serve on a deciding point clinched the only break of the first set in the fourth game, and they broke through against the Spaniard's delivery again for a 4-3 lead in the second before serving out for victory.
Salisbury said: "I think we've got better throughout the week. I think that was our best match, maybe along with the semi-final yesterday. I think we've served well and not got broken many times. We did that really well and managed to take the few chances we had today. I think we got a little bit of luck as well, but it seems like we get it in this place.
"We definitely didn't have a great first half of the year, and sometimes you need a bit of a shock, some tough times, to kind of kick you into gear and get you back to knowing what you were doing well, and how you were winning. We managed to do that and we've kept it going for a little bit, which is nice."

TURIN, Italy (AP) — Andrey Rublev grew so frustrated during a 7-5, 6-2 loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals on Wednesday that he repeatedly hit himself with his racket — so hard that he bloodied his left knee.
Rublev had already slammed his racket to the ground during the opening game of the second set. Then when the Russian missed a shot to hand Alcaraz a break, he started beating himself as he walked to his chair and then used a towel to wipe the blood off.
Blood continued to trickle down Rublev’s leg as he played on and he eventually called a trainer for treatment.
“It’s OK,” Rublev said of his knee. “I get disappointed and couldn’t manage.”
The second-ranked Alcaraz, a 20-year-old Spaniard who is already a two-time Grand Slam champion, ended an uncharacteristic three-match losing streak following defeats to Grigor Dimitrov in Shanghai, Roman Safiullin in Paris and Alexander Zverev in his debut match in Turin.
“I played such a great level,” Alcaraz said.
While Rublev was virtually eliminated after losing both of his opening matches, Alcaraz boosted his chances of advancing from the round robin stage at the season-ending event for the year’s top eight players.
Alcaraz will next face Daniil Medvedev, who secured his spot in the semifinals with a 7-6 (7), 6-4 win over Zverev.
“The key against Medvedev is to play a perfect match — tactically,” Alcaraz said.
Jannik Sinner leads the green group with two wins following his victory over Novak Djokovic on Tuesday.
The top two finishers in each four-man group advance to the semifinals.
In a first career meeting, it was a tight first set until Alcaraz broke for a 6-5 lead. Then Rublev was left fuming when the opening point of the next game had to be replayed after his shot was called wide. The call was overturned on review after it was shown that the shot had landed on the line.
Rublev called it an “unlucky call.”
“But it’s part of the sport,” he said. “It happens every match. ... Just happen that it was important (point).”
In the next game, Rublev bloodied himself.
As the second set wore on, Alcaraz began producing one highlight after another. Like when he hit a forehand cross-court passing shot as he was in the process of falling down. Or when he pulled off a backhand winner down the line from far off court on the run a couple of games later.
Alcaraz missed last year’s ATP Finals because of an abdominal injury.
MEDVEDEV SOLID
Medvedev saved two set points in the opening set as Zverev was shaky on the big points at the end of both sets.
“Very tough match mentally. I’m happy that I was able to regroup,” Medvedev said. “The ending of both sets was very tight.”
Medvedev, the 2020 champion, improved to 11-7 in his career against Zverev and has now won five of their six meetings this year.
Medvedev also beat Rublev in straight sets in his opening match.
Zverev has had off-court issues recently after a German court issued a penalty order against him after allegations he caused bodily harm to a woman. Zverev has disputed the allegations and is contesting the penalty order.

Max Purcell storms into maiden ATP Tour final at Rothesay International
Aussie Max Purcell has progressed to a maiden ATP Tour final at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne, England.
On Friday, Purcell defeated local wildcard Billy Harris 6-4 4-6 6-4 to progress to the final of the last grass court tournament before Wimbledon kicks off.
Purcell recently made changes to his team after a slump in performance saw him at risk of falling outside the men's top 100.

The former Australian Open men's doubles finalist soared to a career-high ranking of world No.40 in October last year before briefly slipping to 101 ahead of the ATP 250 event.
Having won through qualifying before carving up his side of the draw — Purcell becomes just the fourth qualifier in the tournament's history to reach the final.
"I have a new coach this week and I feel everything is coming together," Purcell said.
"It feels good. Qualifying last week in Halle gave me confidence, a couple of straight sets matches there. I felt that I was due to get a couple of wins."
The Eastbourne tournament could have seen an all-Australian decider before American Taylor Fritz triumphed over fellow Aussie Aleks Vukic in their semi final.
In bizarre scenes, Vukic was unnerved by a flock of seagulls who circled the court in the narrow 7-6(5) 7-6(4) loss.
With the decider between Purcell and world No.13 Fritz set for Saturday night (AEST), Purcell enters the underdog.
Fritz, a dual-champion at Eastbourne, edged Purcell in two tiebreakers when the pair met in Basel last year.

Nevertheless, the achievement is a welcome boost for Purcell ahead of the opening round at SW19.
Purcell is set to face Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen in the first round on Monday while Vukic has drawn world No.54 Sebastian Ofner — the Austrian will play in the final at the ATP 250 event in Mallorca, Spain on Saturday.
