Novak Djokovic’s Most Successful ATP Seasons – Where Does 2023 Rank?

In the world of tennis, there is hardly anyone who has left a mark on the sport quite like the sensational Novak Djokovic. Widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, the Serbian sensation stunned everyone with his heroics this year and ended his year as the male with the most grand slams to his name, standing tall at 24.

While 2023 was an exceptional year for him, the years 2011 and 2015 also defined his legacy and his arrival into the sport in style. That being said, which among the 3 years stand tall in his list and where would his 2023 year be ranked? Let’s find out!

How did Novak Djokovic play in the years 2011, 2015, and 2023?

When it comes to the Serbian, there is hardly any year where he has not performed at his best level. However, these three years still top the chart. In 2011, Djokovic produced an otherworldly display of tennis mastery. The year saw him produce an incredible unbeaten streak where he managed to bag amazing victories at major tournaments. This also saw his rise to the top and announcing the start of an era completely dominated by the Big 3.

In the year 2011, the Serbian managed to lay his hands on three major Grand Slam titles: the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. This showcased the dominance that he displayed on the tennis courts. At the year’s end, he managed to have a win-loss record of 70-6 and a staggering 43-match winning streak. He ended the year at the number 1 spot in the ATP rankings and also managed to bag 10 ATP titles to his name.

Fast forward to 2015, and Djokovic’s reign continued. He displayed a remarkable consistency throughout the season, claiming multiple titles, including the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. This year was also special for him because he managed to create a new record. He became only the second person in history after Rod Laver and Roger Federer to make his way into the finals of every grand slam in a calendar year.

Not only this, he also managed to have an 82-6 win-loss record, which was joined by his exceptional performance at the ATP 1000 Masters where he managed to win 6 titles and even won 1 ATP Finals. However, a notable setback at the French Open highlighted his pursuit of perfection.

Now, turning our light to 2023, Djokovic’s performance surpassed even his own standards. Winning three Grand Slam titles and reaching the Wimbledon final signified his competitiveness even at the age of 36. The highlight was his record-breaking 24th major at the US Open while surpassing Rafael Nadal’s record of 22 slams. Djokovic achieved huge milestones, setting records for most weeks as world number one, defeating top-ranked players, and excelling across various surfaces.

That being said, which of the following 3 years was the best for him? Was it the year 2011, the year 2015 or 2023? While he managed to bag 3 grand slams during all the 3 years, when did he surprise everyone.

Which year was by far the best year for the Serbian legend?

All three years have been very good in terms of numbers for the Serbian great as he has managed to outwit every single person on the tennis court and display his dominance on the court. While 2011 marked the beginning of an era for the Serbian, 2023 may have been the end with the Serbian finally in his penultimate years.

From what can be inferred from the stats, the 2023 year was probably the best one on the professional circuit for the Serbian. This is because of the fact that the major slams that he managed to bag in 2o11 and 2015 were 3: the same amount that he managed to collect this year. Just like in 2015, Djokovic managed to reach the finals of every grand slam that he played this year as well.

So, the thing that sets this year apart is the toll that the age took on him. Despite being 36 years old, the hunger to win and pull out his best game everywhere he goes is something mind-blowing. Another factor that sets 2023 year apart is not just the trophies and records, but the context in which they were achieved.

This year also saw the rise of some upcoming stars in tennis, the players who are claimed by many to become the next greats of the game. Despite this, the dominance that he has displayed on the court is worth watching.

While 2011 and 2015 showcased Djokovic’s supremacy, 2023 tops that. It also strengthens his legacy as the greatest of all time. His achievements in this season, be it surpassing records, conquering multiple surfaces, or securing major titles, suggest the ever-hard-working personality that he is.
