Novak Djokovic is nearing the 900-win mark

Djokovic, who has 893 singles match wins, would reach the landmark of 900 match wins by going undefeated in 7 matches at the 2020 Australian Open.

This would make the 32-year-old Serb the 6th player overall, and the third active one, to join the exclusive club of 900 match wins. The list is led by Jimmy Connors (1274), Roger Federer (1237), Ivan Lendl (1068), Rafael Nadal (977) and Guillermo Vilas (949).

Federer and Nadal are the only active players with 900 match wins.
