Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic achieved yet
another milestone in the sport.
The 36-year-old won his 24th Grand Slam title
after beating the world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in straight sets
with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 on Sunday.
After doing that, Djokovic became the world number one
player in the men’s singles category, replacing Spain’s young tennis sensation
Carlos Alcaraz.

While doing that, the Belgrade-born became the first player
in the Open era in both men’s and women’s singles categories to stay at the top of
the ranking ladder for 390 weeks.
His closest rival is the former America’s tennis star Steffi
Graff who remained at the top of WTA singles rankings for 377 weeks.
Switzerland’s legendary tennis player Roger Federer is the
only other men’s player in the top-five list as he remained world number one
for 310 weeks.
Djokovic is the most successful men’s singles player in the
Open era, having won the most number of Grand Slams in his illustrious career.
Despite all the doubts, the current world number one ended
up winning three out of the four major titles this year.
His only defeat in a Grand Slam in 2023 came in the final of
Wimbledon where he lost to Alcaraz in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
