Men's tennis 2021 was a year for Djokovic, a year in which he managed to win three Grand Slam titles and a runner-up, and finished first for the 7th year-end time without suspense. After finishing first this year, Djokovic once again set a new record for the oldest year-end number one he held. As a youth-dominated sport, Deyo constantly challenged his record with his age.
AtP's oldest year-end no.1 record was set by Deyo this year, who set this new record at the age of 34 years and 7 months. The entire 2021 season of Djokovic can be described as a perfect performance, almost recreating the feat of The Annual Grand Slam of Mr. Laver.
The second year of the long year end of the first was set last year by Deyo, who set this record at the age of 33 years and 7 months. Last year's Tour was hit by the pandemic, but Djokovic still pushed Nadal to finish first year with the performance of the Australian Open and two Masters champions and the French Open runner-up.
In 2019, Nadal set a record for at the time of ATP's oldest year-end year-end at the age of 33 years and 6 months. In the 2019 season, Nadal won the French Open and the US Open, reached the final of the Australian Open, and won two Masters tournaments in Rome and Montreal.
In Fourth place was Djokovic in 2018, when he became the year-end number one at the age of 31 years and 7 months. In 2018, Djokovic began his rise from Wimbledon, winning the Wimbledon US Open as well as the Cincinnati and Shanghai Masters titles, in addition to the finals and the Paris Masters runner-up.
Nadal finished first at the end of the year at 31 years and 6 months in the 2017 season, also setting a record at the time. 2017 was a year of re-emergence for Nadal after a two-year slump, reaching the finals on the Tour 10 times throughout the season, winning the French Open, the US Open and the runner-up of the Australian Open.
With the exception of Nadal and Djokovic, atP has never had anyone else over the age of 30 to reach the top spot of the year. Lendl finished first year-end in 1989 at 29 years and 9 months, Agassi finished first in 1999 with 29 years and 8 months, Murray finished first in 2016 at 29 years and 7 months, and Federer's last year-end first in 2009, when his age was 28 years and 4 months.
