311 weeks and counting, that’s how strong is Novak Djokovic’s hold on the ATP world number one spot!
Breaking Roger Federer’s record for most weeks as world number one, Djokovic first reached world number one in 2011 after beating Rafael Nadal in the finals and winning Wimbledon for the first time.
Unstoppable since his debut in 2003, the Serbian tennis superstar has surpassed the record of many tennis stars and stands headstrong even at the age of 33. Holding 18 Grand Slam Titles under his hood, Djokovic feels like his dream has come true, this is an amazing achievement for him.
Winning the 2021 Australian Open at Melbourne Park, Novak Djokovic is set for the new season and lock horns with his opponents but let’s applaud his newly set landmark, a milestone which will take a long time to be broken!
