Novak Djokovic is close to overtaking Roger Federer's all-time record of time spent at the top of the ATP Rankings. Federer's record stands at 310 weeks at the summit of men's tennis. Djokovic, who has spent 300 weeks as World No 1, could pass that total as early as March next year. Djokovic is currently on 12,030 ranking points, 2,180 points above Rafael Nadal in second. Earlier this year, Djokovic stated how overtaking Federer's record is one of his main career ambitions. "This is one of my two biggest professional goals,” Djokovic said. “To reach the record of, [and] surpass Roger's record for longest [time at] number one and win as many Slams as possible. I have been saying that before, so I'm working towards that. I'm at a good place right now, in a good position. Hopefully, I can stay healthy and continue to play well."
