Novak Djokovic is the most decorated male player in tennis history, holding the all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles and a record 428 weeks as world No. 1. The Serbian is the only man to complete a triple Career Grand Slam — winning each major at least three times — and remains a genuine threat into his late thirties.

Current World Ranking & Recent Form

Djokovic is world No. 7 and, at 38, still operating at the top of the game. He reached the 2026 Australian Open final — beating defending champion Jannik Sinner in a four-hour, nine-minute semi-final before losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. Schedule management is now central to his pursuit of a record 25th major. For his current schedule and next opponent, see our Novak Djokovic next match guide.

Playing Style & Strengths

Djokovic’s game is the most complete of his era: the finest return of serve in tennis history, elastic defensive coverage, and a backhand that ranks among the greatest ever struck. He turns defence into offence as well as anyone, neutralising power with depth and angle before stepping in to dictate.

His flexibility, movement and mental resilience under pressure have defined a career built on winning the biggest points. Even as physical peak gives way to schedule management, his tactical mastery and big-match temperament keep him competitive against players half his age.
