Novak
Djokovic reached a new record in ATP Masters 1000 events after defeating Alex
De Minaur (7-5, 6-4) and securing a spot in the semifinals of the Monte-Carlo
Masters. This marks the Serbian's 77th semifinal appearance in
tournaments of this category, surpassing Rafael Nadal, who has 76 semifinals.
Nole has been the most successful player in ATP Masters 1000
tournaments since the category was established in 1990. The world No. 1 holds
the record for the most Masters 1000 titles with 40, followed by Nadal with 36.
He also holds the record for the most finals appearances with 58, again
followed by Nadal with 53.
His victory this time over Alex De Minaur once again places
him in the semifinals, bringing his total to 77 to surpass Nadal's 76. Djokovic
also boasts the highest winning percentage in the history of Masters 1000
events, which, including his latest triumph over the Australian, stands at
82.24% (403-87), followed by Nadal with 82.17% (406-88).
At 36 years old, Djokovic is also the oldest player to reach
the semifinals of the Monte-Carlo Masters in the Open Era, surpassing the
previous record held by Nicola Pietrangeli, who reached the semifinals at 35
years old in 1969.
