The 2021 season will not only be intriguing but record-breaking too. It will be the year that fans will watch quite attentively as some big players can achieve some major milestones. What makes it more fascinating is that World No.1 Novak Djokovic and World No.2 Rafael Nadal will be chasing those records.

If 2 of the big players are there, how can Roger Federer miss that list. However, he is the one the other two are actually chasing which will make the race even more exciting.

Novak Djokovic-standing on the verge of creating history

The Serbian legend Novak Djokovic has been the World No.1 for 301 weeks now. He is just 10 weeks away from crossing Roger Federer’s 310-week mark as No.1.

Djokovic currently leads the second-placed Nadal by 2,180 points. He will achieve the milestone if he continues to remain No.1 in the ATP rankings till March 2021. There is a very high possibility of Djokovic to surpass Federer because the Serbian already has a great record at the Australian Open 2021.

Rafael Nadal can achieve 21 in 2021

If it can be a great year for Djokovic, it can be a greater year for Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard is currently tied with Roger Federer in the Grand Slam tally having 20 titles.

Thus, it will be a year when records will both be made and broken. Fans seem quite interested in it and are desperately waiting for it to begin. Will Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal be able to break Roger Federer’s long time standing records?
