Rank the Djokovic 2023 record destroying achievements from this monumental year in tennis history

[Hitman]

Here are the key ones. Rank them in the way you see fit and let us know why.

Slam record broken = Breaks Nadal's record, and now has 24 slams. No player, male or female in history has more slams than him. This includes breaking Serena's open era record of most slam also.

Triple career slam = One ups Nadal's double career slam, by being the first male player to win the triple career slam. And first to do it across three surfaces. In the process he becomes the oldest RG and USO champion in history.

409 weeks at number one = Breaks Graf's record for most weeks at number one male or female, then proceeds to be the first player in history to smash the 400 week barrier. He is now going to be one week shy of 100 weeks ahead of Federer and 200 weeks exactly ahead of Nadal.

8th year ending number one = No player, male or female has more year ending number ones than Djokovic. In the process, breaks his own record to become the oldest world number one in history.

YEC record broken - Breaks Federer's record for most titles won, by winning his 7th title he stands alone. In process, he breaks his own record of being the oldest winner of the event, and longest gap between first and last win of 15 years.

40 masters titles barrier broken = Becomes the first player in history to win 40 masters titles, this includes winning every masters at least twice. He is one win away at MC from winning them all three times each.

71 big titles = First player to break the 70 big titles barrier, which includes 24 slams, 40 masters and 7 YEC.

Most slam finals played - He has played more slams finals than any player, male or female in history. He also has played the most semis finals, and is one quarter final away from playing the most quarters also, tied with Fed.

There are other achievements, such as first player to win a HC slam ten times, increasing top 5 and top 10 wins, to many to count, but I listed what I feel were the truly big ones.

What about the year ending number one for 8th time, equalling Graf? Where do you see that one, at the bottom?

Oh whoops left it out (there are so many of them lol)
It would be 4th equal with the 409 weeks

 

[Hitman]

71 HC title = feds record

Yeah, there like many many more. Just focusing on the really big ones.

Mind blowing what this guys achieved! His hunger for more is incredible too.

To do all that after the 2022 season is what is truly monstrous. The cake has too many cherries on it now, it's going to collapse under its own weight.

For me he’s arguably the most mentally strong athlete I seen. He deals with disappointments so well and it just makes him more determined and then plays better. For most people even suffering a quarter of what he did in 2022 would have broken them for good. Novak is made of strong stuff. Incredible!

Truly personifies the saying - If it doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger.

 

[CoolCoolCool]

I'd rank them in the same order you presented them, only I'd switch the last two.

 

[nolefam_2024]

24 - he removed Serena from GOAT conversation, it was annoying

409 - removed laver Steffi and others from the GOAT conversation

TCGS - only male player to do so and 1 RG away from Steffi

8 year end number 1 - In open era equals Steffi ( Nole got banned in 2022 and Steffi opponent got backstabbed ) in real world ahead of all in open era. Equalling tilden Gonzalez laver in whatever ametuer "ranking" means

Rest of the records are great

 

[DSH]

And he wants more.

How can the bad wolf not be hungrier than ever, if in front of him are defenseless puppies ready to be devoured meekly.

At his age, it’s all impressive. His will to win is something else.

I agree I didnt see this coming after the AO 22 fiasco. Whatever one thinks of that circus, how he overcame it to have a winning 23 is mind blowing.

From heartbreak to triumph.

He thought of the whole fiasco the same way we nolefams portray it. It was totally unjust. And Nole won the justice in 2023.

 

[NoleFam]

Think back to 6 years ago to late 2017 and early 2018 when he was at his lowest point. None of those looked possible and now look. It's all pretty surreal. Well we know which one is #1.

 

[Dwell]

Djokovic to all the doubters:

 

[GrandSlam24]

Will there be a 100th title?
Will there be a 72nd title on hard court?
Will he win Monte Carlo again?

Possibly

NO

 

[Holmes]

I think humility is truly the greatest gift one can be given, and speaking for myself and my fellow Fedfans, Novak's greatest achievement was honoring us with this gift in spades throughout the year.
