Serbian World No.1 Novak Djokovic collected his first ATP singles win following the US Open 2021 final loss. He defeated Marton Fuscovics in the second round of Rolex Paris Masters 2021 in three sets 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. Consequently, he also made an all-time record with this win, surpassing Roger Federer in the number of match-wins as ATP World No.1.

Notably, because of his dominance in the last decade, Djokovic’s every single win makes or breaks a record. However, crossing Federer in most wins as World No.1 is indeed an outstanding record. As a result, he is now the all-time most successful numero-uno in men’s tennis.

Interestingly, even three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray made it into this list. He stands far down with 30 wins.

Furthermore, Djokovic is looking forward to making many records at the Rolex Paris Masters 2021. Hence, it is fair to say that missing out on the Calendar Grand Slam at US Open did not slow him down.

Most significantly, if the Serb wins the Rolex Paris Masters 2021 title, he will confirm his spot as the year-end World No.1. But to become a record holder in this category, Djokovic will have to cross many top talents competing in Paris.

Therefore, a lot of history is again on the line for the Serbian ace on the ATP Tour. The only question is: Will he go through this time? Or will someone cause him a second big upset in Paris?
