Even if he snaps his winning streak in the ATP Finals, Novak Djokovic is still on track to eclipse the $160 million in career prize money. The only tennis player in ATP and WTA history to earn more than $140 million in career earnings is the 21-time Grand Slam champion.

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.
