Novak Djokovic has continued his dominance over the current crop of players and his win over Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 Paris Olympics finals means he has a winning head-to-head record against 18 of the top 20 players in the latest ATP Rankings.

In fact, he doesn’t have a losing record against any player in the top 20 as he is 1-1 with Felix Auger-Aliassime while he is yet to face Sebastian Baez.

Djokovic was also level with Alcaraz in his head-to-head before Sunday’s Paris 2024 gold medal match, but he moved ahead of the Spaniard with his 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-2) victory.

Novak Djokovic’s H2H Against Top 20

Novak Djokovic 4-3 Jannik Sinner

Novak Djokovic won their first three encounters, but Sinner has had the measure of the 24-time Grand Slam winner in recent years as he won three of their four most recent matches.

The Italian beat Djokovic twice in the space of a few weeks at the backend of 2023 as he won their round-robin match at the ATP Finals before Djokovic turned the tables in the final. The 22-year-old then beat him in the Davis Cup Finals semi-final.

Sinner’s biggest win came at the 2024 Australian Open when he won in four sets before going on to win the title.

Novak Djokovic 4-3 Carlos Alcaraz

After Djokovic won their final two meetings of the 2023 season at the Cincinnati Open final and the ATP Finals, Alcaraz drew level again at 3-3 with his three-set win in the Wimbledon final.

But Djokovic is once again ahead thanks to his incredible victory in the Olympic final at Roland Garros.

Novak Djokovic 12-1 Grigor Dimitrov

Novak Djokovic 12-2 Tsitsipas

Much like the Dimitrov rivalry, Djokovic has dominated with Stefanos Tsitsipas’ last win in 2019. Djokovic made it 11 wins in a row against the Greek with a two-set win in the quarter-final of the Paris Olympics.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner has faced Tsitispas in six finals – including two Grand Slam finals – and has won all six matches.

Novak Djokovic 4-2 Holger Rune
