In what has been a turbulent season for Djokovic, he has still added 5 titles to his already-impressive trophy cabinet. The former world No. 1 ended his season with a bang and next year, we will see him in action at the Australian Open, a tournament that he has won on 9 occasions.

Djokovic won the first of his 91 titles on the tour back in 2006. He was just 19 years old back then and defeated Nicolas Massu in the finals of the Dutch Open in Amersfoort in what was a tremendous campaign for the young Serbian. Djokovic did not drop a set in the entire tournament and announced himself on the world stage.
