ATP Rankings: Novak Djokovic Surpasses Roger Federer’s Record
By: Gyang Dakwo
Novak Djokovic has made more ATP Rankings history by breaking another Roger Federer record.
Djokovic has maintained his healthy 1,015 point lead over world No 2 Jannik Sinner with his 9,725 points at the top of the rankings, while he is 1,080 points ahead of third-ranked Carlos Alcaraz.
Despite playing just three tournaments so far in 2024 — the United Cup, the Australian Open and the Indian Wells Masters — Djokovic has extended his record tally of weeks at world No 1 to an incredible 420.
The 36-year-old Serbian has now added a new record to his collection as he has surpassed his great rival Federer to become the oldest world No 1 in ATP history.
The Swiss legend had been the oldest player to top the ATP Rankings, having been 36 years, 10 months, 16 days in his final day in top spot on June 24, 2018. Djokovic, who turns 37 on May 22, has now bettered that accomplishment and could extend his record further.
With most top ATP players resting last week ahead of the Monte Carlo Masters, there was little movement near the top of the rankings.
