While two new records stole all the headlines over the last few days—seventh year-end No. 1 finish and 37th career Masters 1000 title—there’s another incredible feat that Novak Djokovic pulled off this week that may have gone somewhat unnoticed.

By winning his fifth ATP title of the year at the Rolex Paris Masters on Sunday, Djokovic has now won five or more ATP titles in 10 different years in his career.
