The 31-year-old Serbian today celebrates his 250th week at No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. Only four players since 1973 have been ranked more weeks at the summit of men’s professional tennis, and now the marks of Jimmy Connors (268) and Ivan Lendl (270) are coming into view for the Serbian, who began his fourth stint in the top spot on 5 November 2018. If Djokovic remains at No. 1, the total number of weeks of Pete Sampras (286) may be ticked off within the first month of 2020. Read Tribute
