Novak Djokovic to become the oldest No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history | ATP Tour | Tennis

Novak Djokovic continues to rack up records on the ATP Tour. On Monday, the Serbian surpassed Roger Federer as the oldest No. 1 in the history of the PIF ATP Rankings.

Since 2023 start, nolefams were tracking what will be the earliest date when Djokovic can become the oldest number 1. Some of us thought it would be impossible with surging alcaraz in 2023 (lead in race post Wimbledon). But Djokovic's incredible second half which bagged him USOpen, 2 masters and ATP finals all but confirmed this would become the reality. At the age of 36 full.

Enjoy nolefams. This is one hell of an achievement. Even when Djokovic is fully focused on slams, he was able to set one more record for the ages.

Congratulations to the Nole family. Ladies and gentleman, the undisputed GOAT getting another all-time record!

What an incredible GOAT

 

[3loudboys]

Feel like I’m repeating myself but another remarkable achievement from a remarkable athlete. Congratulations Nole.

amazing achievement. Won’t last very long as Sinner will eventually control it soon and not let go of it. But amazing achievement. Of course having bums like Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev as your main rivals for a long time helps. Now it’s Sinner time though. Not nextworthlessgen bum time

The Methuselah of tennis!

Incredible guy! I won't be shocked if he wins Wimbledon and/ or RG.

I thought he set a record for the aged.

@nolefam_2024 i don’t think Nole will be the number 1 seed at Wimbledon.

I don't think he cares. He is only looking to get more slams at this pt.

But he’s going to be psychologically affected if Sinner and Alcaraz are #1 and #2 at Wimbledon

I don't think the goat gets psychologically affected. Carlos will have to prove himself to be number 2 seed. We will see.


If djokovic goes as number 2 seed instead of 1, it won't matter at all. He won RG and USO as number 2 seed just last year.

While sinner if he becomes number 1 seed, I don't know if he is able to handle pressure of being the favorite.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Can't do anything except doff the ol cap to him. I do have a cap on so it's always a legit doff.

Roland Garros he was #3 seed

Somehow it didn’t seem to bother him when he was the #3 seed behind Federer and Nadal at the 2008 and 2011 Australian Opens.

He was seeded #7 at AO 2023 and he was fine

Congratulations to the GOOAT.

Ohh yeah, I am sure Djokovic is mentally as weak as a recreational player like you to be psychologically affected.

LOL

 

[soldat]

Hopefully he can break the 24 slam record this year and remain number 1 until 2025.

 

[vokazu]

Novak Djokovic has also become the youngest and oldest ATP player ever to win 24 Grand Slam Singles titles.

Glad you knew what the most impressive record of all time was without me having to say it

 

[SonnyT]

No, the record keeper says @4/2/24, he's still 4 days short of Federer's record. Well, he won't break Fed's #1 span.
