Tennis star Novak Djokovic has booked his place at the ATP World Tour Finals at The O2 - six months before they start.

The world number two, who is on a 37-match unbeaten streak, became the first player to qualify for November's end-of-season showpiece after beating Rafa Nadal in the Italian Masters final last Sunday.

Djokovic, who beat Andy Murray in the final of the Australian Open in January in the season's first Grand Slam event, will now have his eyes on eclipsing John McEnroe's record of 42 matches unbeaten, which has stood since 1984.

The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals are at The O2 from November 20-27. The event features the top eight ranked players in the world and was won by Roger Federer last year.
