Djokovic guarantees himself a return to the top

The record holder of "Grand Slam" titles, Novak Djokovic, guarantees a return to the top of the world rankings after the end of the US Open. It happened in his first-round victory over Alexander Muller 6-0, 6-2, 6-3 in New York earlier this morning. Djokovic needed just one win to secure his new world No. 1. He collected 9,840 points, and even if Carlos Alcaraz defends his title from last year, he will be able to collect a maximum of 9,815.

Nole played his first match at the US Open since 2021, when Daniil Medvedev prevented him from winning a legendary "calendar slam" in the final. Otherwise, in terms of weeks as number 1 in the world, the great Serbian holds the record with 389. Djokovic will try for the third time in his career to reach the final of all the "Slam" tournaments in one season - this happened in the 2021 in question and in 2015. Joker has nine New York finishes and three triumphs.
