Novak Djokovic has continued to grow his legacy by achieving multiple records at the 2023 Paris Masters.
The World No. 1 has already made history this year after he won three out of four Grand Slams, surpassing Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 major titles with his victory at the US Open.
Meanwhile, Djokovic has extended his record amount of time at the top of the ATP Ranking to 397 weeks, putting him almost 90 weeks ahead of Roger Federer's 310 weeks as No. 1.

Moreover, the 36-year-old has continued to level and break records at the Paris Masters this week. After skipping the Asian swing to spend some time with his family, Djokovic made a record 17th appearance at the last ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the year, with five other players (including Stan Wawrinka and Richard Gasquet) having competed at the event 16 times.
The Serbian player made a strong start to the tournament, defeating Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets. He then went on to overcome three-set battles against Tallon Griekspoor and Holger Rune. This saw him draw level with Nadal for most ATP Masters 1000 semi-final appearances as he took to the court against Andrey Rublev.
Djokovic proceeded to defeat Rublev 5-7, 7-6 (3), 7-5, which helped him to reach the highest-win percentage of all time in ATP Masters `1000 tournaments - 82.2 %.
Djokovic will face Grigor Dimitrov in the final of the Paris Masters, where he will be fighting for his seventh title at the tournament. His chances are good, as he currently leads their head-to-head 11-1.
He will also compete at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin later this month, where he will take on the other Top 8 players of the season for the prestigious title.
