Holger Rune was a fitting opponent as Novak Djokovic secured his latest record. For the eighth time, the Serbian will finish the season as world No 1, a position that will see the 36-year-old rack up 400 weeks spent at the top of the rankings. He already leads that statistic by a clear margin, as well.
Even by his standards, Djokovic has been utterly dominant in 2023. His record of 27-1 at the grand slams this season illustrates how he took his major titles to a record-breaking 24 at the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open, his sole defeat coming in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz.
