After the Grand Slams, the most prestigious event in tennis is the ATP Finals. It is held at the end of every year and is played by the top eight players. However, this year’s edition of the event has been complicated due to the coronavirus pandemic. There have been very few tournaments this year and hence, the ATP has had to alter the ranking system. Under the new system, Novak Djokovic has already qualified for the event and he can move up a place in the all-time list.

Clearly, Novak can tie Agassi by playing the 2020 ATP Finals which starts on November 15. However, there are always chances of a player getting injured and Novak is no different. So far, it has never happened to him when he has qualified for the Finals and he is hoping that trend will continue. Right now, however, the Serb’s main focus is on upcoming events like the US Open.
