List of career achievements by Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic

This article lists various career, tournament, and seasonal achievements by Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic has won 11 Grand Slam (major) titles and is ranked fourth on the all-time list (tied with Rod Laver and Björn Borg) and third in the Open Era rankings (tied with Björn Borg). He has the record of most titles won in ATP Masters 1000 with 28 titles (tied with Rafael Nadal). He has won 5 World Tour Finals titles, four of which he won consecutively (2012-2015) and is the first and only player ever to achieve this feat in the open era.

Novak Djokovic is widely viewed as one of the greatest tennis players of all time and viewed by many sports analysts, fans and media pundits as a top five player in the open era, often ranked alongside Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras and Björn Borg.[lower-alpha 1] He has appeared in 19 Grand Slam finals and has participated in the final of each grand slam tournament at least three times. He has won multiple titles at three out of the four majors but has yet to win the French Open. Djokovic has won an open era record of 6 Australian Open titles, three of which he won consecutively from 2011 – 2013 (an open era record). He is widely viewed as the greatest player to play in the Australian Open; he holds a perfect record of 6–0 in Australian Open finals.

Djokovic's 2011 season is ranked among the greatest seasons by a tennis player in the open era. He won 10 titles and defeated Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal ten times, going 10–1 in 2011 against both players combined. Djokovic went on a 43-match win streak which is ranked third in the open era. In 2015 he won three majors in one season for the second time. The only players to have ever won 3 grand slams in multiple seasons have been Djokovic and Federer (Djokovic in 2011, 2015 and Federer in 2004, 2006-2007).

Djokovic is widely viewed as one of the greatest hard court players of the open era.[14] He has won 8 hard court major titles which is second to Roger Federer’s all time record of 9. Djokovic has won an open era record of 21 Masters 1000 hard court titles. He has an 88.4% Grand Slam match win percentage on hard courts, which is an all-time record.

Djokovic's consistency on the ATP tour is rivaled only by Federer. He has appeared in 14 consecutive semifinals and 27 consecutive quarter-finals in Grand Slam events and also appeared in four consecutive Grand Slam finals in 2011–2012 and five consecutive Grand Slam from 2014-2016. He reached all four major finals (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open) in 2015, sharing the record of reaching all four majors in a calendar year with Federer and Rod Laver. Djokovic is the only player since the 1973 ATP rankings were introduced to have accrued 16,785 points more than the world number 2 and 3 combined, he is the only player to have ever achieved such a high points tally. Djokovic is the only player in the open era to reach 15 straight finals in a single season, he achieved this feat in 2015 and is the only player to ever do so. In 2015, Djokovic beat top 10 opposition 31 times and is the first and only player to achieve this in the open era.

Djokovic has won an all-time record of 12 consecutive Masters 1000 finals from 2012 to 2015, he has also won the first three Masters 1000 tournaments in 2015 after having won Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo and is the only player to achieve this feat in the open era. Novak Djokovic has participated in 8 Masters 1000 finals in 2015 and is the only player to accomplish this, breaking the previous record of 6 finals. Djokovic won an all-time record 6 Masters 1000 titles in 2015 and is the only player to achieve such a feat in the open era. He has won multiple masters 1000 titles in the 9 tournaments and is the only player to win 3+ titles in 6 tournaments and 4+ titles in 4 tournaments. As a result, he is considered to be the most accomplished player in ATP Masters 1000 history for his versatility and success in winning the masters tournaments on a consistent basis.[15]

Besides hard courts, Djokovic also set a number of records on clay courts. He won 11 titles on clay, including 7 Masters 1000 titles. Djokovic is the only player to defeat Rafael Nadal (considered to be the greatest clay court player ever) in French Open in straight sets. He is also the only player to defeat Nadal in all three clay court Masters 1000 events, which he achieved in finals at Madrid (2011), Rome (2011) and Monte Carlo (2013). Djokovic is also the one who ended Nadal's consecutive run of 8 Monte Carlo titles, defeating him in the 2013 final.

Djokovic is the only player to defeat Federer and Nadal in multiple Grand Slam finals. He has beaten both players in a combined six Grand Slam finals. He is also the only player to defeat Federer and Nadal in all four majors. He is the only player to defeat Federer in two Wimbledon finals (2014–2015) and the only player to defeat Nadal in three Grand Slam finals (Wimbledon 2011, US Open 2011 and Australian Open 2012).
