Djoković is the leader of the ranking. He equaled the legend’s record
Such good results and the balance of games 39: 3 gave Djokovic the first place in the ATP ranking at the end of the season. This is the sixth such situation in the career of a Serbian star. Previously, Djoković was first in the ranking in the 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018 seasons. Thus, the 33-year-old equaled the result of one of his idols, Pete Sampras, who was also first in the ranking six times – from the 1993 season to 1998 season.
– I admired him growing up. Equating this record is a dream come true for me. I still want to develop and become a better tennis player. I hope that I will achieve further successes and break more records – admitted Djoković, quoted by atptour.com.
