After taking a break after the US Open, Serbian golf king Novak Djokovic returned to the court at the Paris Masters. He came from behind in the semi-finals and defeated Austria 3-6, 6-0, 7-6 (5). Player Hubert Hurkacz not only made it to the final, but also confirmed that he will be ranked No. 1 in the world at the end of the year for the seventh time in his career, setting a new high in history, surpassing retired star Pete Sampras's 6 records.
"Winning the year-end golf title is my goal in this week's Paris Masters. I am honored to be ranked No. 1 at the end of the year." Djokovic said: "Winning the year-end golf title 7 times is a dream, because Sampras is my My childhood idol, he inspired me to pick up a racket and try the sport of tennis."
During his heyday, Sampras held the year-end title for six consecutive years from 1993 to 1998, while Djokovic once held the title. In 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2020, the season ended in first place.
On March 8 this year, Djokovic surpassed the Swiss King Roger Federer’s record of 310 weeks as the world’s No. 1 longest-serving player, stabilizing his year-end No. 1 throne, which will allow him to become the No. 1 player at the end of the 2021 season. You can be sure that your position as the Serbian football king will last for 348 weeks.
