One of the most technically sound players that the game has ever seen, Novak Djokovic was the first man from Serbia to reach World No. 1 in the ATP rankings. He achieved this feat in the year 2011 - the same year during in which he modified his diet and exercise regimen to win three of the four Grand Slam titles.

2011 was the year of Djokovic, as even the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were forced to take a backseat.

Armed with possibly the best service return of all time, Djokovic's game is suited to all court surfaces. He has had four stints at the top of the ATP charts, but his most fecund spell came during his third stint at the top.

Between 7 July 2014 to 6 November 2016, Djokovic was the Number 1 player in the world without a break - for a period of 122 consecutive weeks.

Djokovic won five Grand Slam tournaments during this time, including all four Grand Slams at the same time (a feat last achieved by Rod laver) - from 2015 Wimbledon to 2016 Roland Garros.

The current World No. 1, Djokovic has spent a total of 229 weeks at the top till date.
