Djokovic: 900 Weeks in Top 10, Groin Injury, and a Voice for Change in Tennis

Novak Djokovic BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Novak Djokovic continues to carve out an extraordinary legacy in men’s tennis, and this past week offered several new milestones and headline moments. According to Last Word on Sports and Tennis365, Djokovic has just reached his 900th week as a Top 10 player on the ATP Tour, a feat previously matched only by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. At age 38, Djokovic is still ranked No. 6 and remains the only active player in this elite club. This milestone arrives after his semi-final exit at Wimbledon to Jannik Sinner and further burns his name into the sport’s record books, building on his 428 weeks as world No. 1, an all-time ATP record.

Health news briefly became the biggest Djokovic headline. The Toronto National Bank Open, one of the summer’s most anticipated Masters events, saw a cascade of withdrawals by top stars including Djokovic. The Associated Press and Times of India confirm that Djokovic, a four-time champion in Toronto, pulled out due to a groin injury, joining Jannik Sinner and Jack Draper on the withdrawal list just days after Wimbledon concluded. With fatigue and minor injuries cited, this move is widely seen as Djokovic managing his schedule and physical condition, something he has become known for in the closing chapters of his career.

Djokovic remains a central figure in current discourse about the burdens of professional tennis. His recent comments about the punishing length of the tennis season and the mental health strains faced by players have received ample agreement and headlines. These remarks, originally shared with Sport Klub and later amplified through coverage by Tennishead and opinion from legends like Chris Evert, highlighted the especially isolating nature of tennis, social media toxicity, and the psychological toll—including increased suitability of burnout and antidepressant use for young players.

On social media, Djokovic’s statements on online criticism and mental health found strong support: Chris Evert publicly praised his perspective, calling his comments a “tremendous answer.” This broader conversation places Djokovic not only as a sports icon but also as a thought leader pushing for change in tennis culture.

On the style front, Tennis Infinity revealed a sneak peek at Djokovic’s new US Open outfit, signaling that, even as he battles injuries and adapts his playing schedule, he intends to make a visual impact at upcoming Grand Slams. As business activities go, no major new deals or public commercial appearances were reported in the last few days. Djokovic’s focus has visibly been on health, longevity, and advocacy, setting the stage for the looming US Open—all while staying firmly on the public’s radar for both his performance and personality.
