World No.1 Novak Djokovic is not slowing down in his assault on the ATP record books, as the Serbian looks primed to shatter another record held by arch-rival, Roger Federer.
With the ATP Finals only a few days away, Djokovic will be making his 16th appearance at the elite event. The 36-year old will be hoping to win a 7th title at the year-ending event, and kicks off his campaign against Danish youngster Holger Rune.

Federer tops list of most appearances at ATP Finals, Djokovic one step away
Djokovic has shown little sign of slowing down, having captured three of the four Grand Slam titles this year. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has had a stranglehold on the World No.1 ranking, which has seen him qualify for his 16th ATP Finals appearance.
Federer leads all players with 17 appearances at the prestigious event, with no player coming close to as many showings since the event's conception in 1970. However, with Djokovic showing no signs of slowing down, one would not be surprised if the Serbian catches up with and eventually overtakes the Swiss Maestro's record over the next few years.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
