He has been ranked No. 1 at least once in a year for a record 13 different years. His career totals include 102 ATP Tour-level singles titles, a record 24 majors, a record 40 Masters titles, a record seven year-end championships, and an Olympic gold medal. He is the only man in tennis history to be the reigning champion of all four majors at once across three different surfaces, the only man to achieve a triple Career Grand Slam, and the first player to complete a Career Golden Masters, which he accomplished twice.
