Djokovic, one can say, is probably the greatest hard-court player of all-time, with Roger Federer. The Serb has won 9 Grand Slam titles on hard-courts second only to Federer's 11 and his tally of 24 Hard Court titles is second to none.

Two of Djokovic's favourite tournaments over the years have been the Australian Open and the ATP Finals. Between 2012 to 2015, Djokovic won the ATP Finals consecutively and remains the only player to have won a hat-trick of ATP Finals titles in the Open Era.


#3. 30 consecutive Grand Slam match wins

Djokovic was at his ruthless throughout 2015 and a larger part of 2016. Few people have dominated tennis in any eras as much as Djokovic demonstrated during these couple of years. In the year 2015, Djokovic logged wins against all top-10 ranked players (an all-time record). In fact, he won 31 matches against the Top-10 ranked players that year and had a 10-1 win-loss record against Federer and Nadal combined. From winning the opening round match against Phillip Kohlschreiber in Wimbledon 2015 to facing a third round defeat at the hands of Sam Querrey in the 3rd round of the Wimbledon Championships in 2016, Djokovic had gone on a 30 match Grand Slam winning spree. During this time, he completed the Career Slam at the 2016 French Open and became the only player in the Open Era to hold all 4 Grand Slams at the same time (non-calendar year Slam)
