Over the last few months, Novak Djokovic has reached a number of No. 1 ranking milestones—200 more weeks at No. 1 than any other active player and 100 more weeks at the top spot than any other player in ATP rankings history, to name just a few of them.
Today, though, he breaks a No. 1 ranking record: Djokovic is now the oldest player to be ranked No. 1 in ATP rankings history.
As of Sunday, April 7th, 2024, Djokovic is 36 years and 321 days young, which surpasses Roger Federer’s mark of 36 years and 320 days when he spent his last day at No. 1 on June 24th, 2018.
Only eight players have been ATP No. 1 in their 30s: Djokovic (36), Federer (36), Andre Agassi (33), Rafael Nadal (33), John Newcombe (30), Jimmy Connors (30), Ivan Lendl (30) and Andy Murray (30).

And there’s more: Djokovic not only holds the record for oldest player ever to be ranked No. 1 in ATP rankings history, but also in ATP or WTA rankings history. The women’s record is 35 years and 230 days—that one belongs to Serena Williams, when she spent her last day at the top of the WTA rankings on May 15th, 2017.
Only three players have touched the WTA No. 1 ranking in their 30s: Williams (35), Chris Evert (30) and Martina Navratilova (30).
