Novak Djokovic became the fourth player to qualify for the prestigious season finale following his US Open quarter-final victory on Wednesday. Novak will return to defend his title at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals from 22-29 November at The O2 in London.
Nole currently has the most match wins (58) to his name this season. He joins Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray among those players already qualified for the elite eight-man event in the English capital. That means the ‘Fab Four’ at the top of the ATP World Tour have now all qualified.
This will be third straight appearance for Nole at the season ending climax. Last year in Shanghai, he captured the title by defeating Nikolay Davydenko in the final.
“It’s only eight players and I think all the tennis world and tennis attention is directed to this event. The role of defending champion has quite a lot of expectation. Yet again it’s a big challenge and hopefully I can repeat the success from last year.”
The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the world’s biggest-ever indoor tennis event, will feature the world’s top eight singles players and eight doubles teams competing to be officially crowned 2009 ATP World Tour Champions. Each of the top eight players and doubles teams will be drawn to play a minimum of three round-robin matches to determine which four players and teams advance to the knockout semi-finals.
