In the latest ATP Rankings, Novak Djokovic has reached a major milestone by going up to fourth place in the all-time list of most weeks as World No.1.

He is now only two weeks away from breaking Ivan Lendl's mark of 270 weeks and then he will target Pete Sampras (286 weeks) and number one, Roger Federer (310 weeks)'s marks.

Djokovic is into his fourth run as World No.1 with his best coming in his third stint where he was 167-17 but his Overall record stands at 338-47 showing his dominance at the top of tennis.
