Novak Djokovic has achieved another milestone in his illustrious tennis career by becoming the oldest man to be ranked No. 1 in the ATP Tour's computerized rankings. At 36 years old, Djokovic has surpassed Roger Federer's previous record and now holds the top spot with a total of 420 weeks, extending another mark previously held by Federer.
In addition to his ranking achievement, Djokovic boasts an impressive record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, the most by any male player in tennis history. This feat also makes him the most successful player in the Open era, which began in 1968. Djokovic's dominance in the sport has seen him surpass the likes of Federer, Pete Sampras, and other tennis legends in terms of major championship victories.
As Djokovic continues to make history, he is currently gearing up to defend his title at the French Open, with the Monte Carlo Masters clay-court tournament serving as a crucial preparation ground. Despite parting ways with coach Goran Ivanisevic, Djokovic remains focused on maintaining his No. 1 ranking, a position he has held since last September after his victory at the US Open.
Meanwhile, in the ATP rankings, Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner retains the No. 2 spot, followed by Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Alexander Zverev in the top five. On the women's side, there have been no changes in the top five rankings, with Iga Swiatek leading the pack, followed by Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula.
