Novak Djokovic will reach 400 weeks as world number one on the ATP Tour, and he wants to do some type of challenge with the fans to celebrate.

When Djokovic first became world number one, he probably didn't imagine one day sitting at 400 weeks as the best player in the world. It seems like a crazy number because 400 weeks is nearly eight years, but he'll be there.

He has been dominant for far more; obviously, he's not the only player in the world; some other players spent time as number one during his reign as well. In any case, it's a pretty significant number, and Djokovic wants to mark the occasion with those who supported him over the years.

He took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to ask fans what he could do in order to mark the occasion. It was actually a poll with a few suggestions for what would be the Nole400 challenge.

Some of the suggestions were a 400-meter run, 400 bounces on a racquet, a 400 jump ropes challenge, or a 400 keepy uppies challenge.

As you can imagine, the keepy uppies won because it's the hardest, obviously. It was a pretty close poll, all things considered, with about 29,000 votes in total. The 400-meter run got 26 % of the vote, the jump rope got 15 % of the vote. A close second was the 400 bounces on the racquet, which got 28 % of the vote.

The winning selection got 30% of the vote, so let's see if Djokovic follows up on that, and we see him show off his football skills. He's a pretty big football fan, so he likely knows his way around a football as well. We'll see if the Nole400 challenge takes off on social media as well.
