Djokovic 2011 Watch: 53-1 and 9 Titles Thus Far

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is on pace to break the best single-season record set by John McEnroe in 1984. Earlier in the season, Djokovic fell one win short of tying the best start in a season (42-0) also achieved by McEnroe that same year. Can the "Super Serb" do it this time around? He still has a long way to go, as he is scheduled to play seven more tournaments, including this week's Cincinnati Masters and the year-end WTF. That's about 35 more matches if he keeps on winning. Let's see if the rest of the "Big 4" can impede his progress going forward.

Here are the three best single-season records in men's tennis:
1. John McEnroe (1984) - 82-3, 13 Titles (2 Majors)
2. Jimmy Connors (1974) - 93-4, 15 Titles (3 Majors)
3. Roger Federer (2006) - 92-5, 12 Titles (3 Majors)
