Djokovic
doesn't appear to be contemplating retirement anytime soon and may continue
climbing the list. The closest player ahead is Ivan Lendl, who totaled 1,310
matches in his 17-year career, which means Djokovic is just 21 matches behind.
However,
advancing further among the players with the most matches played would be a
more challenging feat for Djokovic. Roger Federer, in the second place, has
more than 200 matches on Lendl, and the top spot belongs to Jimmy Connors, who
boasts over 1,550 matches in his career. Here is the list of players with the
most matches played in their careers:
