Djokovic is eyeing big records in 2021

The Serbian ace has been going the length to bring a modern transition in tennis, and he has always been outspoken about his opinions. As a result, he sometimes finds himself at the center of controversy.

Nevertheless, the 6-time year-end World No. 1 would want to keep his rank for one more year. In doing so, he will make the all-time record of being the number one ranked year-end the most number of times.

Plus, Djokovic has narrowed the gap between him and Roger Federer’s record 310 weeks as Number 1 to a matter of a few more weeks. Nadal, alone, has the slimmest chance to stop the Serbian from breaking the record.

All in all, Novak will definitely bring an enthralling season of tennis with him this year.
