Novak Djokovic has finished the year on top of the ATP world rankings, according to the final list of 2015 published on Monday.

Djokovic had finished the best season of his life in fitting style as the world No. 1 crushing Roger Federer 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday to win the ATP Tour Finals title for a record fourth successive year.
