Novak Djokovic Surpasses Many of Roger Federer's Records

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Novak Djokovic has achieved a new achievement in the world of tennis, surpassing the record previously held by Roger Federer. Djokovic became the oldest player to be ranked number one in the ATP Tour rankings.

Reporting from AP, Tuesday (9/4/2024), Djokovic, who is currently 36 years old and will be 37 years old next month, is currently older than Federer when Federer last topped the rankings in June 2018.

As of April 8 2024, Djokovic has also been ranked number one in the world for 420 weeks, surpassing Federer's previous record of 310 weeks before being finally beaten by Djokovic.

Djokovic's 24 Grand Slam singles titles are also the most for a male tennis player.

Federer previously broke Pete Sampras' men's record by winning 14 major championships and retiring with 20 Grand Slam titles, before Rafael Nadal and Djokovic eventually overtook him.

Djokovic this week took part in the Monte Carlo Masters clay court tournament as a warm-up to defend his title at the French Open. This will be Djokovic's first competition since he split from coach Goran Ivanisevic.
