He has spent more than 400 weeks as World No. 1 which is the most in the history of ATP rankings.Djokovic also has 98 titles, including a record 24 Grand Slam titles, 40 ATP Masters, the most in the history of the ATP Tour, and seven ATP Finals, the most for any player on the ATP Tour.In a conversation with Sports Illustrated, the Serb said that his mindset has shifted from chasing records to now creating new ones.
“I don’t feel like I’m chasing anything now. I feel like I’m creating. That’s kind of a mindset I have,” the World No. 1 said.

Djokovic hinted at the possibility of retirement only when he is no longer a top contender for Grand Slams and other major titles.
“Maybe the moment will become closer once I start not to win the Grand Slams and not to be able to be one of the main contenders for major titles. And once the young guys start kicking my butt, then I’ll probably start to rethink and question whether I should keep going. But for now, it’s all good,” the Serb added
