Roger Federer

Novak Djokovic equaled Roger Federer's record with 310 weeks at the top of the ATP list.
In seven days, more precisely on March 8, Djokovic will officially exceed Roger Federer and take over his record, which he held for many years.

Due to the fact that he defended the title, he remained at the same number of points, 12.030, and his advantage over second-placed Rafael Nadal is now 2.180 points.
Djokovic is getting closer to breaking Roger Federer's record of 310 weeks at the top of the ATP list, and that will officially happen on the list that will be published on March 8.

For the ninth time in his career and the third time in a row, in the grand final, the Serb defeated the fourth seed, the Russian Danilo Medvedev, with 114: 5, 6: 2, 6: 2, after 114 minutes of the game.
It was the 18th Grand Slam trophy for the first player in the world who is expected to break Roger Federer's record for the number of weeks at the top of the ATP list on March 8.

The defending champion of the tournament in Melbourne defeated the 114th player in the world, Russian Aslan Karatsev, 6: 3, 6: 4, 6: 2, without major problems after 113 minutes of the game.
It was the 20th consecutive victory of the World No. 1 at the tournament in Melbourne Park, which brought him a place in the 28th Grand Slam final in his career.

He is only the third tennis player who beat Nadal while losing 2-0 sets & only the second one who does it in a Grand Slam tournament!

Federer estimated that he would not be able to recover from knee surgery soon enough to perform in Melbourne.
This, of course, means that the Swiss tennis player will miss the ATP Cup, which is held a week before the start of the Australian Open.

This information was placed by the local media, although it was not confirmed by the organizers, so that the Grand Slam in Melbourne could be held in March or April.
Djokovic was surprised when a British journalist connected the Australian Open and vaccination. The journalist said that the vaccine would be needed in April.

Djokovic will appear at the Cincinnati Masters (August 22) and the US Open (August 31), two tournaments that will be played in the "bubble" in New York.
Novak confirmed that he will travel to New York and arrive there on August 15, a week before the beginning of Cincinnati.

The former Croatian tennis player has been the coach of Novak Djokovic for almost a year.
He says the collaboration is phenomenal.

Stefanos Tsitsipas set himself the target of claiming a Grand Slam title in 2020 after winning last year's season-ending ATP Finals but the young Greek feels that in hindsight the statement was "too big" and burdened him with extra pressure.
