The first major title of the season in 2012 went to Novak Djokovic, and the last substantial one went to him as well.

Another year belonging to Novak Djokovic, still the best tennis player in the world. More
No matter how good or bad Novak Djokovic does in the Paris Masters, he’ll regain the number one spot on the ATP rankings thanks to Roger Federer withdrawing from the tournament. After all the ups and downs in 2012, Djokovic is still, probably, the best player in the world. More
