Find Out: Novak Djokovic surpasses Serena Williams on this all time list

Novak Djokovic has not had a great start to the clay court leg of the 2021 season. He has so far participated in the Monte Carlo Masters, and the Serbia Open and a Semi-final finish has been his best effort so far. It was as if to stem the rot that he did not participate in the Madrid Open.

Now one can almost feel the anticlimax with him taking the field at the Rome Masters. But hard court remains his bread and butter and it was his Australian Open triumph, his ninth Australian Open title, that took him to eighteen Grand slams, and gave him a lead over the then second ranked player Rafael Nadal. Unless Rafael Nadal has an exceptional next few weeks, Novak Djokovic will continue to sit at the top of the heap. 

Where does Novak Djokovic stand on the all time rankings(most weeks as No.1)

Novak Djokovic has made no bones of the fact that he wanted to be the No.1 ranked player in the world for most weeks. He had always wanted that record and when he beat the record set by Roger Federer which was at 310 weeks, Novak Djokovic became the record holder in men’s tennis.

But overall, in men’s and women’s, he was still at number four. But now Djokovic is set to take the number three spot overall, as he has surpassed the record of 319 weeks that was set by Serena Williams. At 320 weeks as No.1 in the World, he is currently at number three on the all time list.
