It’s a new week on the tennis ATP rankings, and there is a new confirmation that the Serbian is the best tennis player of all time.

Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis superstar, is all set to retain his position as the top-ranked player on the ATP list for the following week. This feat will make him the oldest player in the history of tennis to hold the world number one ranking at the age of 36 years and 321 days.

The previous record was held by Swiss player Roger Federer, who, on April 24, 2018, was one day older than Djokovic when he was overtaken at the top of the ranking. Federer first claimed the top spot in the ATP list on February 2, 2004, and held it for 310 weeks.

Starting from Monday, Djokovic will have spent 420 weeks as the top-ranked player, the most successful run in the sport’s history. Djokovic first claimed the top spot in the ATP list on July 4, 2011, and has held it for a total of 9 years and 256 days.

However, the second-placed player and 14-year-younger Italian, Jannik Sinner, will now be very close to Djokovic. Sinner has been on a steady rise in the rankings and has earned his spot among the top players in the world. It will be interesting to see how the future unfolds for both players in the coming weeks and months.
