Serb will only end the year as No 1 for a record-equalling sixth time if he survives a brutal showdown in London
Novak Djokovic, who enthusiastically embraces the concept of the privilege of pressure, should hold his nerve in London over the next seven days to finish the year as No 1. However, he will know he has been in a fight by the end of it.
Fresh from winning his 34th Masters title in Paris and still trailing Rafael Nadal in the rankings by 640 points, he opens the last Tour event of the season, the Nitto ATP Finals against Matteo Berrettini on Sunday afternoon.
