Novak Djokovic Ranking

Novak Djokovic's ranking history began way before he started playing tennis. Djokovic began playing tennis at age four and made his professional debut at the age of 16. He first entered the ATP ranking system on July 2003 ranked a lowly #767. It took Djokovic almost four years to reach the top 10 ranking in March 2007. In just over a month, he reached the top 5 in late April 2007 and he hasn't been ranked any lower than that. However, Djokovic's rise to the top ranking took a long time considering that he was a top three mainstay since 2007. There were two reasons for that - he happened to be in the same era with the best clay court player ever (Rafael Nadal), and perhaps, the best player ever (Roger Federer). It took Djokovic three Grand Slam titles before he would be able to ascend to the top spot in tennis. He won his first major title at the Australian Open 2008, his second was at the Australian Open 2011, and his third was at Wimbledon 2011 to supplant Nadal as world #1. Since then, he has won the US Open and Australian Open titles for his fourth and 5th major Grand Slam wins. He will attempt to become the next player to win all four career Grand Slam titles by winning the French Open 2012. Djokovic has now been ranked #1 in the world for a total of 34 weeks. He stands #14 in the list of most weeks ranked as tennis world #1.
