NOVAK EYES SIXTH TITLE: Djokovic is attempting to join as the only players to win the season finale six times in tournament history. Last year Djokovic became the first player to win four year-end titles in a row. Djokovic is 5-0 in finals, earning titles in 2008 (d. Davydenko), 2012 (d. Federer), 2013 (d. Nadal), 2014 (W/O vs. Federer) and last year (d. Federer). He is one of four players to win the tournament at least five times, joining Federer (6), Pete Sampras (5) and Lendl (5).

NO. 1 AT STAKE: After ending Djokovic’s 122 consecutive-week stay on top in men’s , Murray finds himself in a fight with the Serb for the coveted year-end No. 1 Emirates ATP Ranking. Djokovic is looking to take that honor for the fifth time in the past six years while Murray is looking to become just the fourth player since 2004 and 17th overall to finish the season No. 1. There are several scenarios that could see either player finish the year No. 1. But both have destiny in their own hands. Murray will finish No. 1 if he wins the title regardless of how many of his three group stage matches he wins. To guarantee a No. 1 finish, Djokovic must win two group stage matches and take the title to upstage Murray. If the tournament’s top two seeds meet in the final the outcome will determine who finishes the year No. 1. (see No.1 scenarios below).

YEAR-END NO. 1 DOMINANCE: For the past 12 years, the year-end No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings has been held by one of three players – Djokovic, Federer or Nadal. Federer has finished No. 1 five years (2004-07,2009), Djokovic four years (2011-12, 2014-15) and Nadal three years (2008, 2010, 2013). No other trio in the history of the Emirates ATP Rankings (since 1973) has held No. 1 for 12 straight years. Murray is trying to become the first player other than this trio to finish No. 1 since in 2003. Of the 26 players to hold No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, 16 have finished No. 1. Murray is trying become the 17th player on the prestigious list.

YEAR-END NO. 1 SCENARIOS: Here is the complete points breakdown for Murray and Djokovic in the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings, which will be published on Nov. 28. Murray’s totals already take into account the 275 points that he will drop on Nov. 28 following his performance in the 2015 final.
