The Serbian became the player with the most number of weeks at the top position in the history of tennis (for both ATP and WTA).

On the day she surpassed Steffi Graf (the German has been WTA No.1 for 377 weeks), Nohle says it is incredible what she has achieved and she will try to break other existing tennis records.

The ATP leader does not plan to stop there, the Serbian plans to break other important records in the white sport (it is known that he most wants to go down in history as the player with the most Grand Slam titles – at the moment he is tied with Rafael Nadal, both have 22).

“It’s amazing, it’s surreal, I never imagined I would achieve these things. As a child, I dreamed of winning Wimbledon and being number one in the world.

When I achieved these dreams, I wanted more and I still have big goals, I am very dedicated to tennis.

I am very proud to be among the best in history and to have my name compared to legends like Steffi Graf” – Novak Djokovicaccording to the materials of puntodebreak.com.

Graf held the record for 28 years, and as of Monday, Djokovic is the new all-time leader.
