This July 21st, Novak Đoković began his 900th week in the Top 10 of the ATP rankings. The impressiveness of this feat is best highlighted by the fact that he is only the third player in tennis history to enter the “90+ club.”

The Serbian tennis player long ago surpassed Andre Agassi, who is fourth on the all-time list with 665 weeks in the Top 10. This perfectly illustrates why the “Big Three” hold that title, as only Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are ahead of Đoković in this regard.

Chasing Legends

Nadal has 912 weeks, and barring any incredible shocks, Đoković should draw level with him by mid-October, and then surpass him. To equal or surpass Roger Federer, who boasts 968 weeks, Đoković will need to remain in the Top 10 until the end of 2026.

Novak is currently the sixth-ranked player in the world, with tenth-placed Andrey Rublev now having just under a thousand points less than him.

Đoković decided to skip the Toronto tournament on Sunday and is now expected to play as usual in Cincinnati and then at the US Open during his American tour.
