Novak Djokovic Makes History, Becomes Oldest Man Ranked No. 1 in Tennis

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Novak Djokovic continues his reign of tennis supremacy, breaking yet another record once held by the legendary Roger Federer. At 36, Djokovic has surpassed Federer to become the oldest man to achieve the coveted No. 1 ranking in the ATP Tour's computerized rankings.

With Monday marking his 420th week at the top spot, Djokovic solidifies his status as one of the sport's all-time greats. This feat extends another record previously held by Federer, who enjoyed 310 weeks at No. 1 before Djokovic's ascent.

Adding to his illustrious career, Djokovic boasts an impressive collection of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, the most in tennis history. His dominance in the sport's Open Era is unparalleled, surpassing the likes of Pete Sampras, Federer, and Rafael Nadal.

As Djokovic prepares to defend his title at the upcoming French Open, his entry into the Monte Carlo Masters clay-court tournament this week signals his readiness for the challenges ahead. Despite recently parting ways with coach Goran Ivanisevic, Djokovic remains focused and determined, poised to continue his remarkable journey at the pinnacle of tennis excellence.
