To stay relevant in the game of tennis it is important to stay on top. There have been a lot of great players who have achieved the number 1 ranked player in tennis. The likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Bjorn Borg are some of the notable players who have held this ranking for a long duration. This is due to their consistent performances throughout their career. Getting to that number 1 spot is not an easy way up, but retaining the position is a big challenge even for the best players in the business.
The current world number 1 right now is the Serbian giant Novak Djokovic. Djoko has been having a great few seasons where he is now established as a certified legend in tennis. Djokovic has now won the most grand slams for a tennis player with 24. Whether it is Clay, grass or hard surfaces, Djokovic has dominated every tournament he has played.
Another record in Djokovic’s book
Djokovic might not have had the best last couple of tournaments, but he is still the world number 1 in today’s game. Djoko is still on top of the ATP rankings at the age of 36 years. He has overtaken the Swiss legend Roger Federer to be the oldest-ever World number 1 in the ATP rankings. Djokovic has held that position for more than a year now and is still in the best form of his life. Djokovic will go down as one of the greatest players of all time.
The records set by Djokovic are incredible. The consistency and ability to play longer games has been one of his specialities. Even at the age of 36, Djokovic is still on top of his games and is still a top contender. We are seeing players like Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray struggle right now, but Djokovic is still fit and ready to play every game. We all can comfortably say that Djokovic is creating high standards not only as a great tennis player but as a legendary player.
