Novak Djokovic Sets Record For All-Time Weeks At No. 1
- No Comments
Novak Djokovic made history on Monday setting the all-time mark between men and women for most total weeks at the No. 1 ranking.
Monday marks Djokovic’s 378th week on top of the rankings, and that’s ahead of Steffi Graf’s previous longstanding record of 377.
“Of course with your love and great strength that you have given me over the years, I’ve managed to achieve many fantastic achievements throughout my career,” Djokovic said. “The most recent one breaking the record 378 weeks on No. 1 rankings, surpassing one of the greatest, most legendary tennis players — both men and women — that ever played, Steffi Graf. So I’m flattered, obviously extremely, extremely proud and happy for this achievement.”
MOST WEEKS AT NO. 1 (MEN AND WOMEN)
Novak Djokovic 378
Steffi Graf 377
Martina Navratilova 332
Serena Williams 319
Roger Federer 310
Carlos Alcaraz yesterday had a chance to equal Djokovic in terms of overall points, but Djokovic would have stayed No. 1 regardless due to the tiebreaker. This week, though, Alcaraz is in Acapulco where he could pass Djokovic depending on how the two do at their respective events.
