Djokovic was ranked No. 1 in the world for the first time on 4 July 2011.[6] His longest streak at No. 1 was 122 weeks, from 7 July 2014 until 6 November 2016.[7] On 8 March 2021 he reached 311 total weeks at No. 1, which broke the ATP record by Roger Federer. As of 2023, his record is 390 weeks.
He won the ATP Tour Finals in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2022, and helped Serbia win the Davis Cup in 2010. He won a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He has won a record 39 Masters 1000 series titles, and a single season record six Masters 1000 titles in 2015.
Many tennis critics and former and current players consider Djokovic to be among the greatest tennis players of all time.[8][9][10][11][12] Djokovic was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2019.[13]
