Over the course of his long career, Novak Djokovic has broken almost all men's tennis records and deserves to be considered as the best ever (at least in terms of numbers).

The Serbian legend holds the record for the most Grand Slam titles, the most Masters 1000 titles and is also the player who has spent the most weeks at the top of the ATP rankings.
As if that were not enough, the 37-year-old from Belgrade is also the tennis player who has finished the most seasons as world number 1 (8 in total).
In the summer of 2024, Nole completed his personal puzzle by also winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics and fulfilling one of his biggest dreams. On his last attempt although the Serbian promised that he will do everything possible to be present in Los Angeles in 2028 Novak triumphed without losing a single set during his run and defeated Carlos Alcaraz on the iconic Philippe Chatrier.

Nole has many records
Despite having achieved everything a tennis player can dream of, the former world number 1 continues to compete at the highest level and is still very dangerous in the events he cares about most (the Grand Slam tournaments).
In a recent interview with the official ATP website, American legend John McEnroe was asked what is in his view Djokovic's most underrated record: "It depends on the player's ambitions and priorities, but one of the most important records when I was playing was to end the season at the top of the ATP ranking. Perhaps it was the most important thing ever in my time. It meant that you had been the best of all in the span of 12 months." McEnroe was the world No. 1 at the end of the season for four years in a row, from 1981 to 1984.

After being prematurely eliminated in Doha, Nole will return to action in Indian Wells where he will try to lift his sixth trophy. The Serbian ace will find Andy Murray in his box.
