All Novak Djokovic’s records and those he is about to break

In Turin, Djokovic won the ‘Masters tournament’ for the seventh time after 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2022. He thus surpasses Roger Fededer, six-time champion. The Swiss holds the record for participations (17, compared to Djokovic’s 16) and finals played (10, compared to Djokovic’s 9).

• 24 Grand Slam titles

By conquering the 2023 US Open, she equaled the absolute record that had been held by the Australian Margaret Court since the 1973 US Open.

‘Djoko’ was the only men’s record holder (23) with his third title at Roland Garros in June, with one ‘Grande’ more than Nadal and three more than Federer.

• 8th year that concludes in first place in the world

For the eighth time in his career (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2023), the Serbian will end the year as the best player on the planet. In 2021 he took over the record held by the American Pete Sampras (6). Federer gets five years, the same as Rafael Nadal.

In January 2023, he won the Australian Open for the tenth time after 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2021, four more titles than Federer and the Australian Roy Emerson.

• 36 Grand Slam finals played

With four finals played in 2023, it far surpasses Federer (31) and Nadal (30) among men, but also to Chris Evert (34) counting the tennis players.

• 40 titles in Masters 1000

Winner of the Paris Masters 1000 At the beginning of November, Djokovic is the most successful player in that category of tournaments, the most important and best-endowed after the Grand Slam. He is also the only player to have won all nine tournaments in this category.

• 400 weeks as No. 1 in the world

‘Djoko’ will begin his 400th week at the top of the ATP rankings on Monday, a figure that has never been reached before. His first pursuer in that ranking cannot reach him, since it is Federer, retired since 2022, with 310 weeks. Among active players, Nadal occupies 6th place on that record with 209 weeks.

Thanks to his titles in Turin, he has a total of 98 tournaments won on the ATP circuit, six of them in 2023. Only Federer (103) and Jimmy Connors (109) surpass him.

• Record number of titles at Wimbledon and the US Open

With seven titles on the London grass, he is only one unit away from Federer’s record eight.

Since this year, he has totaled four titles at the US Open, one shy of the record shared by Federer, Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors.

Only the record of victories at Roland Garros is out of reach: with three titles since June on the Parisian clay, it is a long way from Nadal’s 14 titles.

• Record of matches won in Grand Slam

With 361 matches won across the four Grand Slam tournaments, it is likely that he will surpass Federer, who holds the record with 369, in 2024.

Although he is the only player to have won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments in a season four times (2011, 2015, 2021, 2023) and to have won each of the four ‘Bigs’ at least three times, Djokovic he has not yet won the Grand Slam; him winning the ‘Big Four’ in the same year.

Only the American Don Budge (1938) and the Australian Rod Laver (1962 and 1969) can boast of this on the men’s circuit.

Among women, there are three to have achieved it in the history of women’s tennis, the American Maureen Connolly (1953), the Australian Margaret Court (1970) and the German Steffi Graf (1988).

It is the only major title missing from his record. In four participations in the Olympic Games (2008, 2012, 2016, 2021), he only won one medal, bronze in singles in Beijing, in his first participation after losing in the semifinals to Nadal.

In Tokyo, in 2021, he finished just shy of the podium (4th) in individual, beaten in the semifinals by the German Alexander Zverev and later in the fight for bronze by the Spanish Pablo Carreño.

The Paris 2024 Games are his last opportunity to win Olympic gold, but the tennis tournament will be held on the clay of Roland-Garros, the surface that has given him the least joy.
