Thanks to his record 23rd Grand Slam title, Novak Djokovic on Monday replaced Carlos Alcaraz to return to No. 1 in the ATP rankings. He now will add to the record he already held for the most weeks leading the tennis rankings, men's or women's, since the computerised system was set up a half-century ago.

"So, of course, when you talk about history, people mostly talk about the Grand Slams won or the amount of time you spent at the No. 1 rankings. I have managed to break the records in both of these statistics, which is amazing," Djokovic said.
