Djokovic surpasses Nadal in another historic Masters 1000 record
Believe it or not, Novak Djokovic keeps breaking records. The Serbian has many to his name and has achieved one more after defeating Alekansar Kovacevic in the round of 16 of Indian Wells 2026. Following his victory over the American (6-4, 1-6, 6-4), he has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Californian tournament, marking his 113th round of 16 matches at an ATP Masters 1000, surpassing Rafael Nadal's 112. In fact, he is the player with the most titles (40), finals (60), semifinals (80), now the round of 16, and also the most wins in this tournament category with a total of 420 victories. He is only missing the quarterfinals, a number still held by the Mallorcan (99), although Djokovic is just two quarterfinal appearances away from equaling that record with 97.
