It is the third time this year that Djokovic occupies the first position in the ATP ranking, the second after winning a major. In February, after his triumph at the Australian Open, he had become the tennis player, man or woman, with the most weeks active as world No. 1, breaking Steffi Graf’s record of 377 weeks. At this point, in September Nole could become the first to reach 400 weeks at the top of the chart.
