Best doubles and singles players, best matches, best comebacks, and finest quotes are among the accolades after the 2023 ATP Tour season concludes.
Novak Djokovic was crowned world number one and won three Grand Slam tournaments by year’s end. Still, he could not claim victory in the Davis Cup as eventual champions Italy defeated Serbia.
Out of all the Grand Slam players competing in 2023, just Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic. In this article, we shall look at the champions and contenders of the ATP 2023 season.
2023 ATP Season Review
Best matches: Alcaraz Vs. Djokovic
This is the first of two games that Novak and Carlos will play. After Djokovic raced out to a 6-1 victory in the first set, it seemed like the Wimbledon finale wouldn’t be very exciting. It took only one month for Djokovic and Alcaraz to achieve the same success in a nail-biter in Cincinnati.
In the most protracted best-of-three aggregate in the history of ATP Tour competitions, which spanned for more than three and a half hours, Novak successfully overcame an early setback that was caused by temperatures and broke serve. The final score was 5-7 7-6 (7) 7-6 (4). “One of the toughest and most exciting matches I was ever part of,” Novak remarked.

Best Single Player: Novak Djokovic
Sinner’s remarkable late-season resurgence has positioned him as a strong contender for this accolade if he can sustain his exceptional performance into 2024. Carlos performed exceptionally in the year’s first half, emerging victorious in Madrid and Indian Wells and maintaining an undefeated streak on grass to secure Wimbledon and Queen’s victories.
Despite perhaps suffering a little setback following his Wimbledon final loss against Carlos, Djokovic bounced back, winning 19 straight games. The winner is Djokovic, who has won three Grand Slam championships, finished first again after the year, and won the ATP Finals seven times.
Quote of the season: Medvedev
We can’t discuss the end of ATP 2023 without discussing Medvedev’s alleged finger flipping. It was impossible to miss Medvedev’s comical grimace as he ‘declined’ flipping his middle finger towards the Paris supporters as he walked off the court. He had this to say about the incident: “No, I didn’t. I just checked my nails like this. No, really, it’s nothing more than that. Why would I do that to this beautiful crowd in Paris-Bercy?”
While they were still playing each other in Monte Carlo, Zverev referred to Medvedev as “one of the most unfair players in the world.”
During the Laver Cup, Ben Shelton yelled, “Come on, Johnny!” to a bit embarrassed Team World leader, John McEnroe.
Final Thoughts
Once again, Novak Djokovic dominated by taking home three Grand Slam trophies and ranking first in the world. However, there were also some memorable moments, such as Carlos Alcaraz’s Wimbledon victory and Jannik Sinner’s season-ending comeback.
After finishing second place at the Nitto ATP Finals, Sinner assisted Italy in winning the Davis Cup in the season’s last match, the first Italian victory in 47 years.
