While the tennis world is anxiously waiting to witness Djokovic’s upcoming victory, it could get his year-end goal achieved. Besides that, another historical milestone also waits for Djokovic’s hit.

A historical milestone awaits Djokovic

Besides achieving his year-end goal, Novak Djokovic is on the verge of achieving a historical milestone in the world of tennis. Having ended the year as World No. 1 seven times, if he secures the top spot this time, he will go further ahead of his childhood idol, Pete Sampras, who has 6 no. 1 finishes.

When Djokovic equalled Pete Sampras’ record in 2021, as reported by ATPtour.com, he stated, “Just proud and extremely happy. Obviously that was one of the biggest goals and it’s always one of the biggest goals, to try to be No. 1 and end the season as No. 1. To do it for the record seventh time and surpass my childhood idol and role model, Pete, is incredible. Very grateful, very blessed to be in this position.”
