Could Novak Djokovic further rewrite the history books of the Rolex Shanghai Masters?
The Serbian owns the ATP Masters 1000 records for most titles (40), finals (60) and semi-finals (79) according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, and he has the chance to extend each of those marks this week in China, where he reaches the quarter-finals.
Djokovic already has the most titles in tournament history with four and is three wins away from lifting a record-breaking fifth trophy. It would be his first Masters 1000 victory since the 2023 Rolex Paris Masters.
However, this isn’t the only Masters 1000 event where he has earned more crowns than any other player. In fact, he is the record holder for the most titles at more events in the series than anyone else.
The former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings holds the record for the most trophies – or is tied for the most – at four of the nine Masters 1000 tournaments currently on the ATP Tour calendar. He is tied in Indian Wells (5, with Roger Federer) and Miami (6, with Andre Agassi), while he is alone in Shanghai and Paris.
Tournament | Record holder (titles) |
Indian Wells | Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer (5) |
Miami | Andre Agassi and Novak Djokovic (6) |
Monte Carlo | Rafael Nadal (11) |
Madrid | Rafael Nadal (5) |
Rome | Rafael Nadal (10) |
Canada | Ivan Lendl (6) |
Cincinnati | Roger Federer (7) |
Shanghai | Novak Djokovic (4) |
Paris | Novak Djokovic (7) |
Members of the ATP No. 1 Club have dominated the winners circle at Masters 1000 events. The player with the most crowns at each of the nine tournaments has risen to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings in his career.
Rafael Nadal has claimed the most crowns at the three Clay Court Masters 1000 tournaments, in Monte Carlo (11), Madrid (5) and Rome (10), Ivan Lendl has won Canada six times and Federer emerged victorious seven times in Cincinnati.
But no one has matched Djokovic’s success at this level. The Serbian’s number of Masters 1000 trophies is double the number of all but two players in the history of the series (since 1990): Nadal (36) and Federer (28).
The 38-year-old Djokovic, now the oldest Masters 1000 quarter-finalist in the series’ history after his success so far in Shanghai, will look to extend his run on Thursday when he plays Zizou Bergs for a place in the semi-finals.
