The Serb, in particular, has started the year in phenomenal form after taking his winning streak to 21 matches by lifting the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships trophy for a fifth time – a 79th career title – after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4.
It came just weeks after Serbia triumphed at the inaugural ATP Cup and then Djokovic claimed a record-extending eighth Australian Open title.
Nadal, meanwhile, proved far too strong for the unseeded Taylor Fritz in the Mexican Open final, winning 6-3, 6-2. It was the Spaniard's 85th singles title.
Another Spaniard who just cannot stop winning silverware is Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
CIty defeated 2-1 Aston Villa in the League Cup final at Wembley and secured the Catalan a 30th trophy as manager.
Over in Spain, meanwhile, Guardiola's former club Barcelona were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in the clasico clash at the Bernabeu.
Goals from Vinicius Junior and Mariano meant that Real leap-frogged their old rivals at the top-of-the-table and now lead by a single point.
