Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic achieved yet another milestone in the sport.

The 36-year-old won his 24th Grand Slam title after beating the world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 on Sunday.

After doing that, Djokovic became the world number one player in the men’s singles category, replacing Spain’s young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz.

While doing that, the Belgrade-born became the first player in the Open era in both men’s and women’s singles categories to stay at the top of the ranking ladder for 390 weeks.

His closest rival is the former America’s tennis star Steffi Graff who remained at the top of WTA singles rankings for 377 weeks.

Switzerland’s legendary tennis player Roger Federer is the only other men’s player in the top-five list as he remained world number one for 310 weeks.

Djokovic is the most successful men’s singles player in the Open era, having won the most number of Grand Slams in his illustrious career.

Despite all the doubts, the current world number one ended up winning three out of the four major titles this year.

His only defeat in a Grand Slam in 2023 came in the final of Wimbledon where he lost to Alcaraz in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

390 – Novak Djokovic is now the first player with 390 week at the No. 1 in the World in both ATP (since 1973) and WTA (since 1975) Rankings. Legend.@atptour @ATPMediaInfo
