Novak Djokovic is the latest leading male player to suggest that the ATP World Tour finals should be moved from London.

The Serb believes the end of season tournament, currently being staged at the O2 Arena in London for a fifth successive season, should be rotated every few years.

The defending champion says the event, which features the top eight players in the world and arguably is the most important and prestigious after the Grand Slams, should be used as a vehicle to make the game more popular.

The 26-year-old, who opens his campaign at the O2 Arena on Tuesday evening, said: “The tournament should definitely be organised at different places and not held in one city for more than three years.

“Various players share this opinion and believe it should be played in places where our sport, which is a global one, is not so popular which means it could expand.”
