Novak Djokovic has etched his name into the annals of tennis history by becoming the first player ever to record 90 career wins at all four Grand Slam tournaments. The Serbian maestro achieved this remarkable feat after defeating compatriot Laslo Djere in the second round of the US Open on Wednesday night.
Djokovic’s victory at Flushing Meadows marked his 90th career win at the tournament, joining an exclusive club that includes Jimmy Connors, Chris Evert, and Serena Williams. However, Djokovic’s achievement is even more extraordinary as he is the only player to have reached this milestone at all four Grand Slams.
Djokovic’s dominance across the Grand Slams is evident in his impressive win-loss records:
* Australian Open: 94-9 (10 titles)
* Roland Garros: 96-16 (3 titles)
* Wimbledon: 97-12 (7 titles)
* US Open: 90-13 (4 titles)
Djokovic’s consistency and longevity at the highest level of tennis are truly remarkable. He has been a force to be reckoned with for over a decade, winning 21 Grand Slam titles and holding the world number one ranking for a record 387 weeks.
The Serbian’s victory over Djere was not without its challenges. Djere retired from the match due to injury while trailing 6-4, 6-4, 2-0. However, Djokovic’s determination and resilience shone through as he secured the win and a place in the third round of the US Open.
Djokovic’s pursuit of tennis immortality continues as he aims to add to his already impressive legacy. With his unmatched record at the Grand Slams, he remains a formidable force in the sport and a true inspiration to aspiring tennis players worldwide.
