World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has topped the game with 15 years in his decorated career. Winning his sixth Wimbledon win on Sunday, the 20-time Grand Slam champion tied Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for the most such wins among men. That trio holds the highest score in tennis history, behind only Margaret Court (24), Serena Williams (23) and Steffi Graf (22).
Djokovic, 34, has had a lot of dominance this season. She is the sixth player, male or female, to win each of the first three majors of the calendar year since the Open Era began in 1968. Federer was part of a widespread social media reaction to Djokovic's hot start, marking another career milestone.
Likewise, Roger. Thank you very much for your kind words! 🙏🏼 https://t.co/i0TrvXcgA3
