Congratulations Novak Djokovic!

With the ATP World Tour Finals now over, I must reflect on Novak Djokovic's greatest seasons in his career. A straight sets defeat over Roger Federer in the ATP Final serves as an example of just how dominant Djokovic has been during the 2015 season.

First, let's take a look at his performance in ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments. Of the nine tournaments, Djokovic took home six final trophies. He withdrew from the Madrid Open and suffered defeats in the finals of Montreal and Cincinnati, losing to Andy Murray and Roger Federer respectively. Regardless of the two losses, six final trophies is an almost insurmountable task for a tennis player, but Djokovic is of another class. The amount of consistency needed for a feat like that is demonstrative of his devotion to a strict training regime.


Masters 1000 tournaments are not enough to mark a tennis player as truly great. It seems the best players in history are measured by the amount of grand slams they've been able to attain. Djokovic's did not disappoint in the 2015 season, taking home three of the four grand slam trophies. His only loss came in the finals of the French Open to Stan Wawrinka. A devastating loss I'm sure, but to the rest of the ATP, merely a blemish to an otherwise perfect season. Defeating Andy Murray in the Australian Open and then Roger Federer in Wimbledon and the US Open, Djokovic is a force to be reckoned with. The US Open win marked his tenth grand slam win. He is slowly, but surely edging towards Federer's coveted count of 17 grand slam titles.

There's no contesting that Djokovic is the greatest player currently on tour. He is in the prime of his career and I'm excited to see how the 2016 season plays out. For now, Djokovic can enjoy the post-season and stay away from tennis. It's well deserved. Congratulations Novak Djokovic!
