Djokovic is the player who has spent the most consecutive weeks in the top 20, among those still active.
With the retirement of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic is now the only player in the Big 3 still active. This is reflected in the statistics, as he dominates the ranking of consecutive weeks in the top 20.
From October 2006 to May 2018, he spent 606 consecutive weeks there. He himself is second in this ranking with 314 weeks, from July 2018 to December 2024.
Daniil Medvedev has just passed the 300th week milestone. However, he is not the best Next Gen player in this category, as Stefanos Tsitsipas is ahead of him, with 310 weeks.
The Greek has been in the top 20 since August 2018, and the Russian since October 2018. Roger Federer, although retired, holds the record, with 1062 consecutive weeks in the top 20, or 20 years.
