Djokovic: The unimaginable performances of Nole, who reached 22 Grand Slams
Novak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open final to celebrate the 22nd Grand Slam of his career while also managing the absolute 10/10 in Australia.
Novak Djokovic continues to build on his already great history in tennis. Nole won a 3-0 set against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open final, confirming the title of favourite.
In doing so, he became the third oldest player to win a Grand Slam, after Ken Roswall and Roger Federer, having reached the end of the journey at the age of 35 years and six months.
Of course, this is only thanks to the Serbs, because his list of successes is long.
The unthinkable 10/10 in Australia
With his win against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic confirmed his absolute dominance at the Australian Open and continued its impressive tradition in Australia.
On Friday in the semifinals he went 10/10 in the semifinals and on Sunday afternoon he matched exactly the same percentage in the final at the Australian Open. An unimaginable number.
In this way, Nole achieved two more impressive historical achievements. Novak Djokovic is now the only player alongside Rafael Nadal to boast double-digit Grand Slam titles.
Also, along with the Spaniard, they are the two to have an absolute 10/10 in the final of a Grand Slam tournament. Of course, now he’s also achieved Grand Slam titles as they both have 22 in total.
In addition, Novak Djokovic achieved 93 titles in ATP tournaments and is now only one away from third-placed Ivan Lendl.
At the same time, he equaled Roger Federer’s record for most Grand Slam wins. The legendary Swiss has 89 at the US Open main table and now Nole has the same score in Australia.
The chart race that shows their dominance
The fight between the two is expected to continue in the following Grand Slams of the year. As you will see in the chart race below, Novak Djokovic has won at least one title for the sixth straight year and seems poised to add more titles to his collection.
Just below you can step back in time to see year by year how the battle for the top placing in Grand Slam titles in the Open Era (from 1969 to the present) has unfolded.
