BELGRADE - Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic on Monday began his 378th week at the top of the ATP rankings, setting an absolute record in the category in both men's and women's tennis.

Djokovic surpassed Germany's Steffi Graf, who spent a total of 377 weeks in the world number one spot.

In their major 49th duel, Roger Federer beats Novak Djokovic after 72 minutes of play with a 6-4, 6-3 win.
Federer finished second in Group Bjorn Borg, behind Austrian Dominic Thiem, who beat both Federer and Djokovic earlier this week.

Grigor Dimitrov's victory over Roger Federer in the US open quarterfinal clash with a 0-7 record against 19-time major champion had surprised many, maybe himself as well, as nothing indicated something like that could have happened.

Roger Federer claimed the 100th ATP title of his career by beating 20-year-old Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 6-4 in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday.
The 20-times Grand Slam champion became the second man in the Open Era to claim 100 titles after American Jimmy Connors who won 109.

It's more obvious than ever that Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams have really distanced themselves from the rest of the elite in tennis.

Not just because they were the ones who got to dress up and attend the Wimbledon champions' dinner on July 12 at night.

Rafael Nadal won his first title in nearly nine months on March 1, beating Juan Monaco 6-4, 6-1 to win the Argentina Open.
      
Nadal's triumph was his first since he won a ninth French Open title at Roland Garros last June.
