Novak Djokovic breaks Roger Federer's record to become the oldest world number one

Novak Djokovic continues to hold the top spot in the ATP rankings. He first ascended to the top of the list of the world's best tennis players on July 4, 2011.

Today, he broke the record of another legendary tennis player, Roger Federer, who retired in 2022, and became the oldest world number one. Federer held the top spot in the ATP rankings at the age of 36 years and 320 days. Djokovic turned 36 years and 321 days today.

Moreover, Novak Djokovic holds the record for the most seasons at the top of the rankings. He has achieved this feat eight times. Djokovic is widely recognized by many experts as the best tennis player in the world. And there's good reason for it. Despite his age, he continues to participate in tournaments, although he doesn't always emerge victorious. At the Indian Wells Masters, he was eliminated in the round of 16 by the 75th-ranked player in the world, Luca Nardi. Earlier this year, he lost in the semifinals of the Australian Open to the eventual winner, Jannik Sinner.

The legendary athlete has 24 victories in Grand Slam tournaments to his name, and in 1311 matches, he has secured 1095 victories.
