The year-end, eight-man ATP Finals open in Turin, Italy, on Sunday. He's won it a record seven times. Last year, he beat current No. 1 Jake Sinner in the final.
“Wishing all the players a great tournament” Djokovic added: “See you soon!”
Djokovic finishes the year with a 37-9 win-loss record highlighted by winning his first Olympic gold medal in Paris. That was his 99th tour-level title. He didn't add to his men's record 24 Grand Slam titles this year, and after bowing out of the US Open third round, he played only a Davis Cup match and reached the final of the Shanghai Masters last month, losing to Sinner. He then withdrew injured from the Paris Masters.
