The Serbian great Novak Djokovic is set to reach another milestone. On Monday, when the latest ATP rankings were released, Djokovic leveled with the legendary Steffi Graff for weeks spent at No.1 for 377 weeks. And now, he is just one week away from scripting the record for most weeks spent at number 1. He currently has 7,070 points, 590 more than Spain’s Carlos Alzaraz.
Djokovic became the world number one for the first time in 2011, while Graff rose to the top spot in women’s rankings in 1987. Both of them are 22-time Grand Slam champions. Also Read: Carlos Alcaraz Registers 1st Win At Argentina Open After Injury
