Novak Djokovic secures year-end No. 1 spot for record seventh time, surpassing Pete Sampras
CNN
Novak Djokovic made tennis history on Saturday as he secured his place as the year-end world No. 1 for the record seventh time.
With his 3-6 6-0 7-6 victory over Hubert Hurkacz in the semifinals of the Paris Masters, Djokovic moves clear of Pete Sampras, who finished the year as world No. 1 six times between 1993 and 1998.
The 34-year-old Djokovic, who faces Daniil Medvedev in the Paris Masters final on Sunday, has previously been crowned the year-end No. 1 in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
