2022 is coming to an end and the Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic, is all set to surpass the highest prize money ever received by any tennis player. The former world number one had a fabulous tennis season, where he won this year’s Wimbledon Championship. Nevertheless, the tennis star’s fans cannot control their emotions over one of his recent achievements.
After defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the current ATP finals tournament, the 21-time Grand Slam champion is ready to capture his sixth ATP finals championship. Djokovic did compete in the last three tennis competitions, which were the Tel Aviv Open, Asthana Open, and Paris Masters. These two out of the three competitions were easy victories.

When the tennis stars were in Melbourne getting ready to compete in the Australian Open, the ban was issued earlier this year. The ban controversy started when Djokovic, who was not immunized against COVID-19, expressed interest in competing in the tournament. The spectators are happy to watch the tennis player resume his winning streak at the Australian Open the following year because the 21-time Grand Slam champion’s three-year suspension has now been reduced to one year.
