Only eight players have been ATP No. 1 in their 30s: Djokovic (36), Federer (36), Andre Agassi (33), Rafael Nadal (33), John Newcombe (30), Jimmy Connors (30), Ivan Lendl (30) and Andy Murray (30).
Only three players have held the WTA’s No. 1 ranking in their 30s: Serena Williams (35), Chris Evert (30) and Martina Navratilova (30).
That’s an elite 11 if there ever was one, but Djokovic stands head and shoulders above them…
