Novak Djokovic is a Serbian professional tennis player who is currently ranked world No.1 in men's singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). He is considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He is coached by former Slovak tennis player Marián Vajda and former German tennis player and six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker. Djokovic has won 12 Grand Slam singles titles, the fourth most in history (tied with Roy Emerson), and has held the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings for a total of 200 weeks. By winning three Grand Slam titles in 2011, Djokovic became the sixth male player to win three majors in a calendar year. He repeated this achievement in 2015.
In majors, Djokovic has won an all-time record six Australian Open titles (tied with Roy Emerson), including an Open Era record of three consecutive titles from 2011–2013 (the first and only player to achieve this). He has also won three Wimbledon titles, two US Open titles and one French Open title. In 2016 he became the eighth player in history to achieve the Career Grand Slam, and the third man to hold all four major titles at once, the first since Rod Laver in 1969. Among other titles, he has won the ATP World Tour Finals five times (four of which he won consecutively, which is an Open Era record) and was on the Serbian team which won the 2010 Davis Cup. He also won the Bronze medal in men's singles at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Djokovic holds the best match winning rate (83.01%) in Open Era, as of May 2016.
Djokovic stands alone with an all-time record of 29 Masters 1000 series titles. Djokovic's records include breaking the single-season record with six titles in 2015, winning 31 consecutive ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series matches, playing in the finals at all nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments (shared with Roger Federer and Nadal), and being the only player to win eight of the nine events at least once.
