The 21-time Grand Slam champion is in the headlines again after a renowned journalist pointed out his win percentage after the Astana Open, which is now the highest in the men’s circuit. After this impressive stat was pointed out, fans expressed their appreciation for the legendary Serbina on Twitter.
