Novak Djokovic, the current World No. 1, said: “It is incredible to be a part of this elite [group], looking at the names who have ended the year as No. 1, the 16 since 1973, who have done so much for tennis on and off the court…I know how much effort it takes and how many people around the world compete for that place. Being the No. 1 is the pinnacle of all the ambitions of every player. This is the dream.”
Roger Federer, who spent a record 302 weeks as World No. 1, said: “It is a huge deal to have achieved the things that my heroes, people like Stefan Edberg and Pete Sampras, did. To be a member of the list is truly humbling… World No. 1 doesn’t just come to you, you have to go and get it and that’s what I did… It took me a lot of great performances to get there.”
