In the group stage he won all three games and met in the semifinals against the Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka , who reached the semifinals when he played for the first time. After a clear two-set win against Wawrinka, Đoković met Rafael Nadal in the final . However, Nadal was unable to convince in the final and clearly lost the game in two sets with 3: 6 and 4: 6. Thus, Đoković won the season finale for the third time, catching up with John McEnroe and Boris Becker , who also won three times. In doubles, Marcel Granollers and Marc López from Spain were the defending champions who defeated Rohan Bopanna and Mahesh Bhupathi from India in last year's final.

The seven and eight best placed players on the ATP Tour qualified for this competition. There were also two reservists. If one or two Grand Slam tournament winners finish between 9th and 20th place on the ATP World Tour, they get eighth starting place and first reservist place.
In principle, the eight best-placed doubles pairs on the ATP Tour qualified for this competition. However, a team that had won a Grand Slam tournament and secured a place in the top 20 of the world rankings at the end of the year would also have qualified.
