The 36-year-old finished 2023 strongly after winning the ATP
Finals in Turin with a win over young Jannik Sinner in the final with a score
of 6-3, 6-3. With that win, Djokovic is now set to keep the top spot in the
rankings at least till the first Grand Slam of the year.
The Belgrade-born has 11,245 live ranking points. On the other

Djokovic is often regarded as the greatest player in the history
of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam
titles. The current world number one ended up winning three major titles out of
the four in 2023.
His only defeat in a Grand Slam match this year was in the
final at Wimbledon to Alcaraz who came out on top in a five-set thrilling
contest with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
Other than that, Djokovic won the Australian Open by beating
Stefanos Tsitsipas, the French Open by beating Casper Ruud and the US Open by

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
