Now aged 34, Djokovic has compiled a 387-53 win-loss record as World No. 1, including a 117-30 mark against Top 10 opponents and a 39-13 record in tour-level finals. Two weeks ago, he captured his ninth Australian Open crown (d. Medvedev), which marked his 18th major title — two shy of all-time leaders Rafael Nadal and Federer (both with 20).
