How many times has Djokovic won the Australian Open men’s singles title?
Novak Djokovic beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2023 Australian Open final to add to his record haul of men’s singles championships in Melbourne.
Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open men’s singles title for an unprecedented 10th time on Sunday, the Serb beating Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in the 2023 final.
After winning 6-3 in a dominant first set, Djokovic took both the second and third sets on tiebreaks at Roder Laver Arena.
Djokovic level with Nadal on record 22 grand slams
In addition to adding to his unparalleled championship haul in Melbourne, the 35-year-old has drawn level with Rafael Nadal as the most successful men’s player of the Open era.
Djokovic is now tied with Nadal on a record 22 career grand slam titles - two ahead of Roger Federer, the other member of the ‘big three’ that has dominated male tennis in the 21st century.
Djokovic’s victory in Australia also means he will return to the top of the ATP world rankings.
Djokovic dominant in Australia
Djokovic’s first grand slam title came as a 20-year-old at the Australian Open, when he prevailed over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in 2008, winning 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (2). His journey to that final was flawless, the Belgrade-born player reaching the championship decider without dropping a single set.
Since then, Djokovic has completely dominated down under, only failing to lift the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup in five of the Australian Open men’s singles tournaments that he has taken part in (2009, 2010, 2014, 2017 and 2018).
In 2022, he was unable to participate after being deported from Australia over his covid-19 vaccine status.
