The 21-time Grand Slam champion finished the year on a strong note. After receiving the news that he will be allowed to compete at next year’s Australian Open, Djokovic doubled the happiness for himself and his well-wishers by lifting his first ATP Finals title in 7 years.

After winning his seventh Wimbledon title in July, Djokovic won the Tel Aviv Open and the Astana Open. Before the ATP Finals, Djokovic came up short in the finals of the Paris Masters against Holger Rune. Certainly a brilliant end to the season for the 35-year-old.

He put out an emotional message across his social media handles, thanking his wife and kids, his family, his team, his sponsor, and his fans for supporting him throughout a turbulent year. The Serbian legend wrote:

“To my wife & children, family, team, sponsors, fans, everyone who stuck with me this year .. the journey has been challenging & we’ve endured a great deal together. I’m humbled by your support & grateful that it got us to this moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏼❤️🏆”
