Like Federer in his time, Djokovic was world number one for 310 weeks during his career (and it's not over).

World number one for the 310th week of his career, Novak Djokovic equaled Roger Federer's record for weeks atop the ATP rankings.
Nothing can stop the Serbian, recent winner of the Australian Open, from breaking Federer's record.
With 12,030 points, he cannot be overtaken by his pursuers, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal (2nd, 9.850 pts) or the Russian Daniil Medvedev (3rd, 9.735 pts).
The only change in the top 20: David Goffin, victorious in Montpellier, gains a place.
The Belgian passed 14th to the detriment of Milos Raonic.
The best Frenchman is still Benoît Paire, 29th (1,738 pts) after his elimination in the quarterfinals of the Cordoba tournament (Argentina).
He is followed by Ugo Humbert, quarter-finalist in Montpellier and who gains a place (31st, 1.726 pts).
Lucas Pouille, eliminated as soon as he entered the competition in Montpellier after a year and a half without playing, fell two places, to 81st rank in the world hierarchy.
