Djokovic has won the ATP Finals title five times in his career so far. Intriguingly, he won it four consecutive times during the period of 2012-2015. However, since then, he has failed to lift the title and explained the reason for the same in the pre-tournament press conference.

"It could be just the amount of energy that you spend during the season that you maybe don't have enough left in the tank for that final push."

“Since 2015, I did not win the title, played one finals, and couple of semi-finals. It could be just the amount of energy that you spend during the season that you maybe don’t have enough left in the tank for that final push,” said Djokovic in the press conference.

Djokovic believes that maybe, his energy drains out by the end of the year after playing so much professional tennis. Thus, he feels that despite playing some semi-finals and even a final at the ATP Finals in the last five years, he has not been successful there.
