Novak Djokovic achieved another milestone in his illustrious tennis career: tying Steffi Graf for the tennis player who has spent the most weeks at No. 1 in the world.

On Monday, Djokovic began his 377th week as the Association of Professional Tennis Players (ATP) world number 1, the longest number of weeks in that position since the ATP ranking system began in 1973.

The feat evens him with Women's Tennis Association (WTA) leader Graf, who also held the top spot for 377 weeks in her career.
