🎾 Novak Djokovic is back and making waves! The Serbian superstar breezed through his Monte Carlo opener, defeating Russia's Roman Safiullin with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory on Tuesday. 😎
This win sets up an exciting rematch with Italy's Lorenzo Musetti, who famously ousted Djokovic in the third round last year. Could we be in for some tennis drama? Stay tuned! 🎥
But that's not all! Djokovic has just etched his name in the history books, surpassing Swiss legend Roger Federer to become the oldest top-ranked singles player in ATP rankings history at 36 years and 321 days. Talk about age just being a number! 🏆
Sharing a light-hearted moment, Djokovic joked about meeting Rohan Bopanna, the oldest doubles number one in history: \"He said we had a combined age of 80, but he contributes more to that than I do,\" Djokovic laughed. 😂
With his eyes set on another Monte Carlo title (he was champion here in 2013 and 2015), Djokovic is proving that experience and skill go hand in hand. Who else is excited to see how far he'll go this time? 🙌
