Novak Djokovic is the top seed at the ATP Finals and will be a heavy favorite to win. The Serb is vying for a record seventh title, which will see him surpass Roger Federer and become the most successful player in the history of the year-end championships.

Djokovic has already enjoyed an impressive 2023 season so far, with 51 wins in 56 matches. The Serb has won six titles, with the most recent being at the Paris Masters after defeating Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-3 in the final.

He won three out of the four Grand Slams this season, narrowly losing out on the Wimbledon title after losing 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. The Serb won his 24th Major title at the US Open, which saw him create a new Open Era record.

Djokovic will also look to end 2023 as the year-end World No. 1 and just one win at the ATP Finals would be enough for that. The only way the 36-year-old will not finish this year at the top of the rankings is if he loses all of his matches in Turin and Carlos Alcaraz goes on to win the tournament.
