Djokovic followed Nadal's footsteps to feature in the ATP Finals in London from Nov. 10-17.
It is always one of the main goals to qualify and to do it so early in the season is great. I look forward to returning to London in November to compete against the best players in the world at The O2," Djokovic told the ATP website.
It marked Djokovic's 12th appearance in the tennis season finale. The top-ranked player enjoyed 10 straight trips at the tournament from 2007 to 2016, before missing the 2017 edition due to a right elbow injury. The Serbian lost the final to Alexander Zverev of Germany last year.
