Tennis: Djokovic breaks Sampras' world number one record

Serbia's Novak Djokovic celebrates defeating Japan's Kei Nishikori during their Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games men's singles quarterfinal tennis match at the Ariake Tennis Park in Tokyo. Photo: AFPNovak Djokovic gained some consolation for missing out on a Grand Slam sweep this year when he was crowned season-ending world number one for a record seventh time on Saturday.

Djokovic had taken a seven-week break after his dreams of a Grand Slam were dashed by Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final in September. “I am very proud to finish number one and what a match to do it in. It was so tight right to the last point but I am a very happy man now obviously.Djokovic — who broke Roger Federer’s record of weeks at number one earlier this year — said it was hard to rank his records.

“It’s difficult for me to understand the magnitude of these achievements, you know, not just for myself but for the sport while I’m still an active player.
