Stats: Djokovic, the only player to have won a Grand Slam/ATP Finals/Masters 1000 across three decades
Three decades, three eras, three generations: Novak Djokovic, the only player to have won major titles in the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
A man of all records, the Serb has once again pushed back the frontier of the possible. He is now the only player in the entire history of tennis to have won a Grand Slam title, the ATP Finals, and a Masters 1000 in three different decades. An unparalleled feat, even in a sport accustomed to out-of-this-world statistics.
In the 2000s, he was still a young prodigy, but he was already paving the way with a first Grand Slam and a first Masters. In the 2010s, he became an unstoppable machine, accumulating titles at an unprecedented rate. In the 2020s, while most of his generational rivals have retired, Djokovic continues to pile up major trophies with incredible consistency.
Finally, at this stage, one question arises: where will he stop?
