With his latest win at the Madrid Open Tournament, Novak Djokovic has now set his winning streak to 34-0 and 32-0 for the ATP World Tour season. With this latest win, he has also upset the current No. 1 in the world and the (formerly) unbeaten king of clay for the 2011 season. Djokovic has used his HEAD YouTek IG Speed MP for every single win thus far.
What start off as a good run for a good player has turned into an amazing run for an incredibly confident player who cannot be beaten – no matter the competition nor the surface. Even against Rafael Nadal, the most accomplished player in the past year who is virtually unbeatable on clay, Djokovic beat him in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, in his own country.
His streak, as of Monday, May 9th, 2011, is as follows, from most to least recent:
