Novak Djokovic continues to make history and break longevity records as astonishing as the one he achieves on June 22, 2026. The Serbian has become the second player of all time to reach 1,000 weeks within the top-20 of the ATP ranking. Yes, you read that correctly, 1,000 weeks. Imagine the implications of being among the top 20 players in the world for all that time and the historical impact of a feat achieved so far only by Roger Federer.

While it is true that the Belgrade native has not remained consecutively in this elite club, having dropped out on July 2, 2018, during the period when he was not competing or was greatly hindered by issues with his right elbow, the fact remains that this is an unimaginable figure. In fact, even a legend like Nadal could not achieve it, settling for 927 weeks and being the only one to surpass 900 weeks among the top 20, besides Roger, who ended his career with 1,064, and Novak.

The question is evident: Will Djokovic become the player with the most weeks in the top 20 of the ATP ranking? To achieve that, he will have to add 65 more weeks, which is a little over a year. Considering that he has managed to maintain a very high ranking by competing sparingly in recent seasons, it is not improbable that he will succeed.

It's worth looking back to remember what the top-20 of the ATP ranking looked like the first time the name Novak Djokovic appeared. The Serbian entered as world number 16 in a ranking dominated by Federer and Nadal, with Ivan Ljubicic completing the top 3. How time flies.
