The best tennis player in the world, Novak Djoković, continued to increase his own record for the number of weeks spent at the top of world tennis.
The Serbian tennis player will end the year for the seventh time as the first player in the world - the most in the history of tennis, and today he started the 351st week as the first tennis player in the world.
On March 8 this year, Djoković surpassed the Swiss Roger Federer in the number of weeks spent at the top of the ATP list (310) and has been increasing the record ever since.
The Serbian tennis player still has 11,540 points in the first place, i.e. 2,900 points more than the second-placed Russian Daniil Medvedev.
The leading two are followed by German Alexander Zverev, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Russian Andrey Rublev, and among the top ten in the world are Rafael Nadal, Matteo Berrettini, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner.
