Novak Djokovic had a stellar end to his 2022 season despite starting his campaign on a rough note. The Serb did not participate in the Australian Open owing to visa restrictions and therefore had to wait until late February to begin his season. He reached the quarterfinals of the French Open but could not proceed further as he lost to Rafael Nadal.
The former World No. 1 slowly started to get back to his usual form in the second half of the season as he went on to comprehensively conquer the Wimbledon Championships, the Watergen Open and the Astana Open.
Djokovic wrapped up the year by outclassing Casper Ruud in straight sets to clinch the ATP Finals title. The 21-time Grand Slam champion has since been putting in the work for the upcoming season. Having recently played in the World Tennis League, an exhibition tournament in Dubai, he will now have a few days off before commencing the first tournament of the 2023 season in early January.
