Novak Djokovic who is still entrenched in world number 1. In 2020 season has been an extraordinary season for the Serbian national.
Starting this season, the Serbian tennis star won a Grand Slam title at the Melbourne, Australian Open and won three other titles after that. In addition, he recorded incredible victories after only two defeats.
After going through such an amazing season, many wonder if he still has any regrets. For that question, this is the explanation of the world number 1 tennis player.
“There’s a bit of regret, because I didn’t win the title at the US Open or the French Open, while I play so amazingly in both Grand Slams,” admitted Djokovic.

“That’s how it was this season, with a few months of hiatus and all that has happened, but I’ve won a lot of games, so I can compare it to the 2011 and 2015 seasons.”
The Serbian national has had an excellent season and he is still not finished after he’s scheduled to play at the Vienna Open later this month. And there are still targets that he wants to achieve. He plans to match the record for the player who has ended the most season in the world number 1.
Currently, the record is held by Pete Sampras who ended one season as world number 1 on six occasions. With a win at the Vienna Open, he could match Sampras’ record.
It would be too difficult for rival Rafael Nadal to catch up on the points difference between the two and the player who has collected 17 Grand Slam titles knows this. That’s why he chose to participate in the Vienna Open instead of the Paris Masters and where he couldn’t get any new points.
In addition, Novak Djokovic also targets to break another record. Namely the record for the tennis player who has occupied the world rankings the longest. Currently, the record is hold by Roger Federer who spent 310 weeks. But the Serbian tennis star is not far from that streak after spending 291 weeks as the world number 1. If all goes according to his plan, he will break that record on March 8, 2021.
