ATP Finals: Djokovic beats Casper, equals Federer’s record.

Novak Djokovic defeated third seed Casper Ruud to win the ATP Finals tennis tournament title for the record-equalling sixth time here on Sunday.

Serbia’s Djokovic defeated Ruud 7-5 6-3 to win the tournament for the first time since 2015 and equal Federer’s six titles.

The 35-year-old Djokovic had to face defeat when he reached the finals of this tournament the last two times.

After winning the title, Djokovic said, “Seven years is a long time. Plus the fact that I waited seven years makes this victory that much sweeter and bigger.”

He said, “Obviously it had an impact at the beginning of the year.

For the first several months, I was trying to find that balance game-wise. Mentally as well, so that I can get back on the court and find the level of tennis that I need.
