Djokovic salutes Duplantis: 'Greatness has no ceiling'
Novak Djokovic has rewritten tennis history many times, including earning a record 428 weeks at No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
But on Tuesday, the 24-time major champion turned his attention to another record breaker: Swedish pole vault star Armand “Mondo” Duplantis. Just a day earlier, Duplantis raised the bar yet again at the World Athletics Championships, setting the 14th world record of his career.
Djokovic celebrates the achievement by sharing the Swede’s Instagram post with the caption: “Greatness has no ceiling”.
The two sporting icons have long shared mutual admiration. Earlier this year, Djokovic presented the 25-year-old with the World Sportsman of the Year honour at the Laureus World Sports Awards.
Djokovic himself is no stranger to the accolade, having won it five times — tied with fellow former World No. 1 Roger Federer for the all-time lead.
