What is the status of Novak Djokovic’s 2023 season in his career?
Novak Djokovic capped off his 2023 season with a victory in the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, on Sunday, November 19. He has won a total of seven championships this year. Notably, for the second time in his career, the Serb has won three Grand Slam titles as well as the Year-End Championships in the same year, which is his second-best performance after 2015.
In 2023, Djokovic won the Adelaide International 1, the Australian Open (10), the French Open (3), the Cincinnati Masters, the US Open (4), the Paris Masters, and the Year-End Championships (7). He will also end the year as the World No. 1 for the eighth time in his career.
In 2015, the Serb won an incredible 11 championships for his trophy collection. He began the year by winning the Australian Open, and he went on to dominate the hardcourt American swing with victories at the Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, and Monte Carlo Masters. He won the Italian Open on the clay season.
Djokovic won two more Major titles in 2015, at Wimbledon and the US Open. He added to his season total with victories in the China Open and Shanghai Masters. He finished the season with a Paris Masters championship, his sixth ATP Finals trophy, and his fourth World No. 1 ranking.
In 2023, the 36-year-old has played in 12 events on tour. Aside from his seven title-winning streaks, he finished second at the Wimbledon Championships. He reached the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships, as well as the quarterfinals of the Srpska Open and the Italian Open. His performance in the Monte Carlo Masters was his only finish outside of the last eight this year.
Djokovic also finished at the top of two coveted rankings this year. In February, he broke Steffi Graf’s record for most weeks as the World No. 1 ranked player (377). He is presently on his 400th week as the world’s top tennis player.
The Serbian also led the list of all-time Grand Slam champions. In September, he surpassed Australia’s Margaret Court by winning his 24th Major championship, the US Open.
Notably, the 24-time Grand Slam winner has won seven titles in the last three seasons of his career. In 2013, he won his fourth Australian Open title, as well as six more titles in Dubai, Monte Carlo, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, and London (ATP Finals).
Wimbledon, Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, Italian Open, China Open, Paris Masters, and the year-end titles were all won by the World No. 1.
