Djokovic and Halep are ITF world champions

Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep have been named as the 2018 International Tennis Federation world champions. World No 1 Djokovic receives the honour from the International Tennis Federation for the sixth time, while it is the first year that Romania’s top-ranked Halep has been recognised. The world governing body of tennis uses a system that considers all results during the year, but gives special weight to the Grand Slam tournaments and two ITF international team competitions, the Davis Cup and Fed Cup.
