Novak Djokovic has advanced steadily in the Cincinnati Masters 1,000, beating all his rivals without major complications. The Serbian, who is using the US tournament to prepare for the US Open, has dominated the lower part of the draw with an iron fist and has met Carlos Alcaraz in a new final. With his victory in the semifinals, the Balkan has equaled Ivan Lendl and Rafa Nadal in victories in ATP events and is in third position in the historical ranking with 1,068 matches won. He can break the tie today if he beats the world number one.
The world number two defeated Zverev last night in a closely contested and even match that ended up falling on Novak Djokovic’s side. The Serbian always puts one more gear when the important moments arrive. His prodigious mentality is the characteristic that makes the difference with the rest of the tennis players and is one of his great assets. Thanks to this, he has managed to overcome very complicated situations and win matches that seemed lost to achieve an enviable record of victories that only two tennis players have managed to surpass.
Ahead of Novak Djokovic are two tennis legends: Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer. In first place in this classification is the American with an enviable mark of 1,274 victories while the Swiss is one step below but close with 1,251 wins. A record that seems far away at the moment, but not impossible for one of the best tennis players of all time.
