Djokovic Heads Hard-Court Leaderboard

Novak Djokovic has dominated the ATP Tour's hard courts throughout his career, and the past 52 weeks are no exception for the 36-year-old.

Across a run that includes titles at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals and the 2023 Australian Open, the Serbian has posted a tour-leading 91.9 per cent win rate (34-3) on the surface during that span. He also won hard-court titles in Tel Aviv and Astana last year as well as at the Adelaide 1 event to start the current season.

While he missed the North American hard-court swing last year, Djokovic is set to return for the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati later this month — his first scheduled tour-level appearance since the Wimbledon final.

Djokovic lost the Wimbledon title match to Alcaraz, who claimed his maiden major title last September at the US Open. The Spanish World No. 1 is third on the 52-week hard-court leaderboard by winning percentage, with a 78.1 per cent mark (25-7) on the surface.

Daniil Medvedev is second on list by win rate (79.7%) but first by total wins with a 47-12 record. The 2021 US Open champ also leads the way with six hard-court titles in the period, highlighted by his triumph at the Miami ATP Masters 1000.

Felix Auger-Aliassime (42-17) and Taylor Fritz (41-16) are the only others to break the 40-wins mark, while Holger Rune (37-14) and Jannik Sinner (33-12) are among the top six in both win rate and total wins.
