Despite the challenges of the year 2022, Novak Djokovic continues to set records. The former world number one won an ATP 250 (Tel Aviv), an ATP 500 (Astana), a 1000 tournament (Rome), the Finals ATP, and a Grand Slam trophy despite being forced to miss numerous tournaments since he was not vaccinated against Covid19 (Wimbledon). With 42 wins and 7 losses out of the 49 games he played this year, the winning percentage is 85.71%.
It's the ninth time in a season that he's won more than 85% of the time. It has never been done before by any tennis player, and Novak Djokovic is the first to do it for nine different years. His winning percentage peaked in 2015 at 93%, marking his greatest point.
This achievement can be broken down into two distinct periods of his career: since 2011, when he first won three of the four Slam tournaments, and up until 2016, when the streak was finally broken, he has consistently won more than 85% of his matches.
