The year 2026 could once again be synonymous with records for Novak Djokovic. Still in pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam title, the Serbian would become, in case of victory, the oldest player in the Open Era to win a Major.

Already a winner of two tournaments in 2025 and a semi-finalist in all four Grand Slams, the former world No. 1 could also dominate two very specific statistics if he maintains his remarkable consistency.

Two of Federer's records in his sights

This season, Djokovic has already surpassed Roger Federer in the number of weeks spent in the world top 4, reaching 808 weeks (current streak) compared to 804 for the Swiss.

And the Serbian could still dethrone his former rival in two other categories: he only needs 15 more weeks in the top 5, and an additional 45 weeks in the top 10, to become the absolute record holder in these two rankings.

Djokovic would thus become the record holder for the number of weeks spent as world No. 1, but also in the top 2, top 3, top 4, top 5, and top 10.

Goals that seem well within his reach, provided he repeats a season of the same caliber as the one he has just accomplished.
