Djokovic's combined 198-0 record against 26 players in mindblowing statistic

Novak Djokovic achieved an incredible record of 198-0 against 26 players after defeating Gael Monfils at the Western & Southern Open.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion holds a positive record against practically all the players he has faced, and his victory against Monfils set a new record for the most wins without a loss in head-to-head matchups against another ATP player. This marked Djokovic's 19th triumph over the Frenchman.

With this victory, 'Nole' maintains a record of 198-0 against 26 players whom he has faced at least five times without being defeated. Monfils is the player who has suffered the most against the World No. 1, followed by Jeremy Chardy (14-0), Andrea Seppi (12-0), and Milos Raonic (12-0).

Among the players who have struggled against Djokovic, there are also 11 who have reached the top 10, including several players from recent years, such as Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Diego Schwrtzman and Denis Shapovalov.

Only five active players have a positive record against Djokovic with multiple wins, led by Nick Kyrgios with a 2-1 head-to-head advantage. Holger Rune (2-1) and Jiri Vesely (2-0) also have positive records. Additionally, the British player Dan Evans and the Japanese player Taro Daniel have a positive record of 1-0.

'Nole' is currently competing in the Cincinnati Open this week, his first tournament since his loss in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic has showcased a high level of play with victories over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Gael Monfils, and Taylor Fritz.

In the tournament, he has only dropped 13 games so far in three matches, although the Spanish player only played one set as he retired after trailing 6-4.

In the semifinals, Djokovic will face German player Alexander Zverev, who is coming off a strong campaign with wins against Grigor Dimitrov, Yoshito Nishioka, Daniil Medvedev, and Adrian Mannarino.

'Sascha' is gradually regaining his form after being sidelined for eight months due to injury and has already secured at least the World No. 12 ranking by the end of the tournament. He could potentially return to the top 10 if he becomes the champion in Cincinnati.
