There has been a lot of debate regarding who wears the title of Greatest of All Time, and a Novak Djokovic superfan has compiled a list detailing the statistical exploits of the Serbian and his two rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The tennis fan going by @Yolitatennis on Twitter, had been working on a spreadsheet that highlighted the wins, losses and other achievements of the Big 3. Following Djokovic's title win at the Paris Masters last weekend, the fan released an updated version of the list.
The World No.1 won his 40th ATP Masters title with his victory in Paris, extending his lead over second place Nadal who has 36 Masters titles. Furthermore, Djokovic now holds 97 career ATP titles, just six behind Federer and 12 adrift of Jimmy Connors’ overall Open Era record of 109.
Other categories include Win-Loss Percentage with Djokovic on 83.68%, Nadal on 82.92% and Federer on 81.98% for “general wins” and Big Five Wins (Djokovic on 57 against Big Three, Nadal on 53 and Federer on 39). Djokovic also leads the Streaks classification for Big Titles (Grand Slams, ATP Finals, ATP Masters, Big Titles, Weeks at No 1) and Other Achievements.
However, Nadal leads the way with the most Olympic medals as he has two gold medals to his name (one in singles and one in doubles) while Federer has one gold medal in doubles and Djokovic has one bronze medal in singles.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
With his win today, Novak only needs to win one RR match in Turin to guarantee the YE#1 ranking for a record 8th time and 406 weeks as #1.
It is *almost* guaranteed, but not quite. 😉
Here is my table updated: 40 masters, 70 big titles.
Absolute heaven!
