Novak Djokovic already holds the record for most career Masters 1000 titles with 38. The other two members of the Big 3 are second and third on the list with 36 (Rafael Nadal) and 28 (Roger Federer).

But there’s something even more impressive about Djokovic’s Masters 1000 trophy cabinet than it just being the fullest.

Not only is Djokovic the only player ever to complete a Career Golden Masters, which is winning all nine Masters 1000 events at least once each, but he actually has a Double Career Golden Masters, meaning he’s won all of them at least twice each.

And this year, he could take it to an even higher level.

The only two Masters 1000s he hasn’t won three or more times are Monte Carlo and Cincinnati—meaning he may only be a few months away from an unprecedented Triple Career Golden Masters, should he win Monte Carlo this week and Cincinnati in August.
