Djokovic overtakes McEnroe for most weeks as no.1

Novak Djokovic is more and more committed to make tennis history. The world no.1 had a huge season to consolidate his position at the top of the rankings. The Serbinator has now overtaken McEnroe in the special standing of total weeks as world no.5. Nole has been no.1 for 171 weeks (John 170). Nole is now 5th in this log after King Roger (302), Sampras (286), Lendl (270) and Connors (268).

 

Djokovic: You need to believe in yourself

Nole commented “You’ve got to have the self-discipline and the dedication, devotion, but most of all passion for the sport, for what you do and keep on waking up every day knowing what your big victory is and what you are aiming for.

Believing in yourself, in your abilities, is something that when you are younger most people are lacking. Obviously, you want everything to come right away and you want to experience success instantly, which is in most cases not possible. You have to work for it.”

Nole will definitely end this year as world no.1… so more to come!
