Novak Djokovic may have lived through the most challenging year of his career to date, but he remains a member of the game’s new ‘Big 3’ for now.

The former world No 1 will end a year without winning a Grand Slam title for the first time since 2017, as a combination of injuries and the rising presence of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have ended his domination at the top of the men’s game.

Sinner and Alcaraz shared the Grand Slam titles between them in 2024, with the former claiming the Australian Open and US Open titles and the latter winning the French Open and Wimbledon.

Yet a glance at the statistics for this year confirms that Djokovic is still a major force in the men’s game despite his waning powers at the age of 37.

Sinner has been the clear stats leader on the ATP Tour since the start of the year, with his 63 wins from 69 matches giving him a stunning win percentage of 91.3.

Alcaraz has pieced together an equally impressive record, claiming 47 wins from his 57 matches to post a win percentage of 82.5.

Yet while this is perceived to have been a season when Djokovic has struggled to find consistency in his game after admitting he is struggling to find motivation for tournaments outside of the Grand Slams, the Serbian legend is still posting some impressive numbers.

He finds himself in joint second place for the year on win percentage stats, with his 33 wins from 41 matches giving him a win rate of 82.5%.

While that number is still way down on the incredible numbers he has been posting throughout most of his career, but it confirms Djokovic is still getting the better of most of his opponents when he is fit and firing.

“I’m trying to improve daily on my practice sessions,” said Djokovic in Shanghai this week.

“I play a lot of practice points, games, sets, and get to the desired level because I haven’t been playing too many tournaments lately, so I have some catching up to do with others.

“Again, hopefully I can use that freshness in a way, and also the past experiences and success I had on this court for good success this year in the tournament as well.

“My love for tennis will never fade away. I have a lot of emotions when I’m playing and not particularly only in the tournament, but also in practice sessions.

“Sometimes it’s not always going your way, but I think my relationship with tennis goes much deeper than a tournament or a year or success or failure, it’s just, you know, a sport that I fell in love with when I was very young, and I still have the love for the sport.

“Even when I retire from professional tennis, I feel like I’m going to stay in tennis, stay involved in, you know, in different roles because I feel like I owe this sport a lot for what it has been giving to me.”

The impressive form of Italy’s Matteo Berrettini sees him sitting among the game’s elite in the win percentage calculations for 2024 on the ATP Tour, with the Wimbledon finalist from 2021 making an impression at the top of the percentage win stats table.

Alexander Zverev is next on the list with a 76.1% win rate, while Alex de Minaur is at 75.5% and Daniil Medvedev sits at 73.8%
