Second Serve

 

By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Monday January 30, 2023

Novak Djokovic’s long, strange trip outside the Top-2 of the ATP rankings has ended. The 22-time Grand Slam champion celebrates his 10th Australian Open title with a return to No.1 in the ATP rankings. Djokovic begins his 374th week at No.1, and is just three weeks shy of passing Steffi Graf on the all-time list for weeks at No.1.
