With the ATP Finals coming to a close this weekend, an interesting statistic emerged highlighting the dominance of certain top players at the event, with Novak Djokovic leading the charge.
The World No.1 is competing at his 16th ATP Finals event, and has reached at least the semifinals in 12 of those appearances. Furthermore, the Serbian has reached the final on eight occasions, and is currently tied with Swiss Maestro Roger Federer at six tournament titles.
Djokovic a regular fixture at the year-ending event
With Djokovic's consistency during the regular season, it comes as no surprise that the 36-year old has been a staple at the elite event. However, it was discovered that a few players were just as consistent.
Having qualified for the semifinals at this year's edition, Djokovic ensured that for the 43rd time in the last 44 years at the event, the ATP Finals semifinals will feature either himself, or one of the following tennis legends, Federer, Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl, with the year 2001 being the only exception.
Djokovic will face World No.2 Carlos Alcaraz in a blockbuster semifinal, as the two engage in a rematch of this year's Wimbledon men's final. The Spaniard is making his debut at the event, while Djokovic hopes to capture his seventh title at the event.

- 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
