3 of Novak Djokovic's most impressive records as a top-10 player
Novak Djokovic first broke into the top 10 of the ATP rankings in March 2007, when he moved from No. 13 to No. 10. Since then, Djokovic has almost always been in the top 10, barring an eight-month period during 2017-18 when he was injured.
The World No. 1's prolonged dominance during his tenure as a top-10 player means that he owns several records in that aspect.
On that note, here's a look at three of the most impressive records owned by Djokovic as a top-10 player:
#1 Novak Djokovic has the highest win percentage among active players
Novak Djokovic's win-rate as a top-10 player is currently 85.4% which is the highest among players with a minimum of 100 wins. Djokovic has won 882 matches and lost 151 as a top-10 player.
The Serb leads long-time rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who occupy the second and third spots respectively. Federer's win-rate as a top 10 player is 85.1%, while Nadal's is slightly lower at 84.5%.
#2 Novak Djokovic has the highest win percentage against fellow top-10 players
During his stint as a top-10 player, Novak Djokovic has faced another player ranked in the top 10 on 305 occasions. Djokovic has emerged victorious 218 times, giving him an overall win percentage of 71.5%, which is currently the highest on tour by far.
Roger Federer comes in second with 66.6%, while Rafael Nadal has a 64.9% win rate against fellow top-10 players while being ranked in the top 10.
Both Nadal and Djokovic will get plenty of chances to improve their numbers when they return to the tour, but the same cannot be said of Federer. The Swiss is currently ranked No. 9 in the world, but will likely drop a few spots by the time he returns to action next year.
#3 Djokovic has the highest win percentage on hardcourts as a top-10 player

Once again, Roger Federer occupies the second position with an 85.7% win rate, while Rafael Nadal is fifth with a 79% win rate.
