TURIN, Italy (Sky Sports) – Former world number one Novak Djokovic has beaten Casper Ruud for a record-equalling sixth ATP Finals title.
The 35-year-old Serbian overcame his Norwegian opponent 7-5 6-3 in Turin.
Victory for Djokovic in the season-ending event caps a year in which he was forced to miss two majors because of his reluctance to take a Covid-19 vaccination.
He last won an ATP Finals title in 2015 and has matched Roger Federer’s mark.
Earlier, Britain’s Joe Salisbury and American partner Rajeev Ram triumphed in the men’s doubles event.
Salisbury became the first Briton to win the doubles title as he and Ram beat Croatian pair Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.
Djokovic took the biggest pay cheque in tennis, worth $4,740,300, for going through the tournament unbeaten.
