Breaking records and creating milestones is nothing new for Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has an iconic career so far and is unanimously called one of the best to step into the court. The current world No.1 has won 18 mindboggling Grand slams in his illustrious career. He also shares the record for finishing as the No.1 player in the ranking in year-end on six occasions with Pete Sampras.
There was an era in tennis where Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dominated the tennis world. The men’s division could not break the paramountcy of these two stalwarts. However, Novak Djokovic’s entry changed the landscape of the tennis world as he won the 2008 Australian open. From there on, there was no turning back for the Serbian as he constantly ground victory and alerted the universe with his talent.
