November top picks: Favorite ATP Finals moments

The ATP Finals, which crowns the year-end champion in men’s tennis, has seen numerous legendary moments over the years. This month we’re diving into the archive to pull our some of our favorites.  

Jannik Sinner, playing in front of an electric home crowd in Turin, capped an incredible year with a flawless tournament. His straight-sets victory in the final over Taylor Fritz (6-4, 6-4) marked the culmination of a run in which he did not lose a single set. This win was symbolic of his rise to World No. 1 and showcased his poise under pressure.  
The two titans squared off in the title match, with Djokovic looking to reclaim the No. 1 ranking. The first point of the match set the tone: Federer hit what seemed like an unreturnable forehand, but Djokovic responded with an acrobatic stretch winner. The incredible opening point encapsulated Djokovic’s trademark resilience and set the stage for his dominance in the 2010s. 
In one of the most anticipated ATP Finals matches, the winner would not only claim the title but also finish the season as world No. 1. Murray, riding an incredible 24-match win streak, faced a rested Djokovic. This victory marked the culmination of Murray’s incredible late-season run and his ascent to the top of the tennis world, capping off a career-best year.
