The 23-year-old, who won the Australian and US Opens this campaign, entered the season-ending event already assured of becoming the first Italian to top the ATP year-end rankings.
"It's a very special occasion to share that here in Italy," he said, while also calling himself "very lucky" for having the best people with him.
