Novak Djokovic continues to make history in the world of tennis as he surpasses yet another milestone. On Monday, he reached 414 weeks at the number one spot, breaking Roger Federer’s record of 310 weeks. Since winning his first Grand Slam at the 2008 Australian Open, Djokovic has gone on to dominate the sport like never before.
In February 2022, Djokovic surpassed Steffi Graf’s record of 377 weeks at the top of the ranking, becoming the all-time leader in both the male and female categories. His closest rivals, Federer and Rafael Nadal, are far behind him in terms of weeks at the number one spot.
Looking ahead, Djokovic is just two trophies away from reaching 100 career titles, a feat only achieved by Jimmy Connors and Federer. He also aims to become the third man in history to surpass 1,100 wins, with the Olympic gold medal in singles at the Paris Olympic Games being his primary goal for this year.
Despite his dominance in Grand Slam tournaments, Djokovic has yet to claim the Olympic gold medal, making it a significant focus for him. He views it as one of his greatest goals, along with winning all four Grand Slam titles.
As Djokovic continues to rewrite the record books, his incredible achievements have solidified his place as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. With his eyes set on more victories and titles in the future, there’s no telling how many more records he will break in the coming years.
