Novak Djokovic has added another record to his legacy after breaking Steffi Graf's marker for the most weeks spent as the world No 1.
Djokovic has now entered his 378th week on top of the men's rankings. The Serbian star already had the honour of the most time spent there in the male game, but the overall record belonged to legendary German player Graf, who retired in 1999 with 22 Slam titles to her name.
The hopes of Djokovic overhauling her took a hit last year, when he missed both the Australian and US Open tournaments over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The absences saw him slip down the rankings, a notion enhanced by his Wimbledon win not yielding any ranking points amid a ban on Russian and Belarusian players.
