Prior to that, he overtook Federer for holding the top-ranked position for the most number of weeks. After winning the first three Grand Slam titles of the season, Novak has now equaled the Swiss maestro and the Spanish star on 20 titles each.
He had a great chance of creating further history by winning the US Open this year. However, he was beaten by Russian powerhouse Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. He still has a chance of winning another title, the ATP Finals which will be held in Turin. It will be interesting to see how he performs.
