Novak Djokovic, the iconic tennis legend, proving to be unstoppable, added several milestones to his glorious career. After his memorable victory at the Paris Masters, the legend now gears up for yet another exciting chapter to his story.

With the ATP Finals scheduled to begin in just a few hours, all eyes are on Djokovic, who enters as the top seed. As the legend stands just one step away from conquering yet another milestone, his recent revelation about his year-end goals gave another point for the fans to look forward to. The ambitious announcement, being not just about this year but history, came out as a statement that fans would surely do not want to miss.

Novak Djokovic just one victory behind his year-end goal

Novak Djokovic, currently holding the top spot in the ATP rankings with an impressive 11,445 points, is just on the verge of achieving his 2023 goal. As the Serbian tennis maestro is set to step onto the court at the ATP Finals in Turin, he is just hours away from securing his year-end World No. 1 position. With a big lead of 3,000 points over the second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic only needs one more victory to defend his position.

In a statement to ATP Media on Friday in Turin, Djokovic revealed his goals, saying, “For me, the biggest goal right now is to end the season as the No. 1 player in the world, so hopefully I can clinch it. I need one win, so hopefully that happens. And then of course, I would love to win the tournament as well. But that’s the goal, and then let’s see what happens afterward.”

While the tennis world is anxiously waiting to witness Djokovic’s upcoming victory, it could get his year-end goal achieved. Besides that, another historical milestone also waits for Djokovic’s hit.

A historical milestone awaits Djokovic

Besides achieving his year-end goal, Novak Djokovic is on the verge of achieving a historical milestone in the world of tennis. Having ended the year as World No. 1 seven times, if he secures the top spot this time, he will go further ahead of his childhood idol, Pete Sampras, who has 6 no. 1 finishes.

When Djokovic equalled Pete Sampras’ record in 2021, as reported by ATPtour.com, he stated, “Just proud and extremely happy. Obviously that was one of the biggest goals and it’s always one of the biggest goals, to try to be No. 1 and end the season as No. 1. To do it for the record seventh time and surpass my childhood idol and role model, Pete, is incredible. Very grateful, very blessed to be in this position.”
