Novak Djokovic has won the ATP Finals seven times, the record, one more than Roger Federer. He drew level with Federer in 2022 and went clear in 2023, when he beat Jannik Sinner in the Turin final. Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras won the season-ending championship five times each, and Ilie Nastase four. Eleven men have won it more than once since Stan Smith took the first edition in Tokyo in 1970.
Sinner, the champion in each of the last two years, is out for the rest of the 2026 season, so there will be no third straight title in Turin from 15 to 22 November. Alexander Zverev, the champion in 2018 and 2021, has qualified and can become the eighth man to win it three times. The 2026 event, its format and its points are covered in GTN’s ATP Finals guide; this page is the record book.

For career titles at every level, see GTN’s list of the most ATP titles.
Djokovic’s seven
Djokovic won the last Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai in 2008, beating Nikolay Davydenko 6-1, 7-5. He then won four in a row in London from 2012 to 2015: against Federer in 2012, Rafael Nadal in 2013, Federer on a walkover in 2014, when the Swiss withdrew from the final with a back problem, and Federer again in 2015. He lost the 2016 final to Andy Murray and the 2018 final to Zverev, then won in Turin in 2022 against Casper Ruud and in 2023 against Sinner. That is nine finals and seven titles.
Federer’s six
Federer won back-to-back titles in Houston in 2003 and 2004, against Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt, two in Shanghai in 2006 and 2007, against James Blake and David Ferrer, and two in London in 2010 and 2011, against Nadal and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He played 10 finals in all. The one that got away first was 2005 in Shanghai, where David Nalbandian won the first two sets in tiebreaks, Federer took the next two and Nalbandian won a fifth-set tiebreak. The other three, in 2012, 2014 and 2015, went to Djokovic.
Lendl and Sampras, five each
Lendl reached nine consecutive finals from 1980 to 1988, all at Madison Square Garden. He won five of them and lost to Borg in 1980, McEnroe in 1983 and 1984, and Becker in 1988, the last in a fifth-set tiebreak.
Sampras won his five in Frankfurt and Hanover across the 1990s, against Jim Courier in 1991, Becker in 1994 and 1996, Yevgeny Kafelnikov in 1997 and Agassi in 1999. The 1996 final against Becker went 3-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(4), 6-7(11), 6-4. His only lost final came against Michael Stich in 1993.
Nastase, Becker and McEnroe
Nastase won four titles in five years from 1971, the first of them decided by round robin, and lost the 1974 final to Guillermo Vilas in five sets. Becker won three, against Lendl in 1988, Courier in 1992 and Michael Chang in 1995, and lost five finals, more than anyone else: to Lendl in 1985 and 1986, Stefan Edberg in 1989 and Sampras in 1994 and 1996. McEnroe won in his home city of New York in 1978 against Arthur Ashe, then beat Lendl in the 1983 and 1984 finals.
The two-time champions
Borg won in 1979 and 1980, against Vitas Gerulaitis and Lendl. Hewitt won in Sydney in 2001 and Shanghai in 2002, against Sebastien Grosjean and Juan Carlos Ferrero. Zverev beat Djokovic in the 2018 London final and Daniil Medvedev in the 2021 final, the first in Turin. Sinner became the first Italian champion in 2024, beating Taylor Fritz, and kept the title in 2025 against Carlos Alcaraz. Level groups on the way to those finals are settled by the ATP Finals round-robin tiebreakers.
Every other champion
Fifteen more men have won the title once: Stan Smith (1970), Guillermo Vilas (1974), Manuel Orantes (1976), Jimmy Connors (1977), Stefan Edberg (1989), Andre Agassi (1990), Michael Stich (1993), Alex Corretja (1998), Gustavo Kuerten (2000), David Nalbandian (2005), Nikolay Davydenko (2009), Andy Murray (2016), Grigor Dimitrov (2017), Stefanos Tsitsipas (2019) and Daniil Medvedev (2020). Kuerten’s 2000 title made him year-end No. 1, as Murray’s did in 2016; how that race works is explained in GTN’s ATP year-end No. 1 explainer, and every man to hold the top spot is in the ATP world No. 1 list.
