Novak Djokovic has spent 20 consecutive years of his tennis career reaching, at least, a final of some ATP tournament. It is important to fully grasp the impact of this feat and to appreciate it as it deserves, especially considering that only Roger Federer had achieved something similar before. The Swiss did it between 2000 and 2019, while Novak has done it between 2006 and 2025, with the chance to become the sole leader of this ranking if next year he reaches a final again.
