In all four of those Masters 1000 events, he defeated at the time a no. 1-ranked Nadal in the final. He had 11 wins over top 10 opponents, including three against Federer and one against Murray.{nl}{nl}<b>No.2 \u2013 Nole\u2019s three Grand Slam crowns<\/b>{nl}{nl}Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal had accounted for 21 of the past 23 Grand Slam titles coming into the 2011 season.  In 2011, Nole escaped the company of the 24 men in the \u2018One-Slam Wonder\u2019 club and joined the elite ranks of Rod Laver (1969), Mats Wilander (1974), Roger Federer (2004, 2006, 2007) and Rafael Nadal (2010) as winners of three Grand Slam titles in a season.{nl}{nl}He began his campaign in Melbourne in impressive form, dropping one set en route to the Australian Open title, including straight-sets wins over Federer in the semi-finals and Andy Murray in the final. He won the Wimbledon title with victory over defending champion Nadal and ascended to no. 1 in the ATP Rankings. He clinched the US Open title in dramatic fashion, saving two match points against Federer in the semi-finals and prevailing against Nadal in an exceptional final.{nl}{nl}<b>No.3 \u2013 Nole\u2019s record five Masters 1000 titles<\/b>{nl}{nl}The 24-year-old Belgrade native set a new record for the number of ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles won in a single season when he claimed  five in 2011 &#8211; in five straight appearances (Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and Montreal).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATPWorldTour.com revealed the top 10 achievements of the 2011 season, and Nole dominates at nos.1-3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3324,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[101010215],"class_list":["post-1396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-atp-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1396"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26890,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1396\/revisions\/26890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
