Novak Djokovic Claims Yet Another Majestic Roger Federer Record Following Rolex Paris Masters 2021 Win

Serbian World No.1 Novak Djokovic collected his first ATP singles win following the US Open 2021 final loss. He defeated Marton Fuscovics in the second round of Rolex Paris Masters 2021 in three sets 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. Consequently, he also made an all-time record with this win, surpassing Roger Federer in the number of match-wins as ATP World No.1.

Notably, because of his dominance in the last decade, Djokovic’s every single win makes or breaks a record. However, crossing Federer in most wins as World No.1 is indeed an outstanding record. As a result, he is now the all-time most successful numero-uno in men’s tennis.

Novak Djokovic passes Roger Federer in another sensational record

Earlier this year, Novak Djokovic crossed Roger Federer‘s most number of weeks spent as World No.1 record. Moreover, he is now more determined than ever to create history on the ATP Tour.

Chiefly, the 34-year-old Serb collected his 418th win as World No.1 over Marton Fuscovics in Bercy, Paris. With that, he crossed Roger Federer’s 417 wins being on the top of the ATP Rankings.

In this race, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal is far behind Djokovic and Federer. So far, he has collected only 250 wins as World No.1.

Interestingly, even three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray made it into this list. He stands far down with 30 wins.

Furthermore, Djokovic is looking forward to making many records at the Rolex Paris Masters 2021. Hence, it is fair to say that missing out on the Calendar Grand Slam at US Open did not slow him down.

Djokovic aims to clinch year-end World No.1 spot in Paris

For a record-equalling six times, Djokovic has completed a season as the year-end World No.1. He currently shares the record with American tennis legend Pete Sampras.

Most significantly, if the Serb wins the Rolex Paris Masters 2021 title, he will confirm his spot as the year-end World No.1. But to become a record holder in this category, Djokovic will have to cross many top talents competing in Paris.

Therefore, a lot of history is again on the line for the Serbian ace on the ATP Tour. The only question is: Will he go through this time? Or will someone cause him a second big upset in Paris?

As per the draw, Djokovic will next play the winner between Gael Monfils and Adrian Mannarino. Will he again become the year-end World No.1 this year?
