He defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final to win his maiden major title.

The Australian Open proved to be a happy hunting ground for the Serb, who went on to win nine more titles in Melbourne.

He won three in a row from 2011 to 2013. Djokovic defeated Andy Murray in the 2011 and 2013 finals and outlasted arch-rival Rafael Nadal in an epic five-setter in the 2012 championship match.

Djokovic won back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2015 and 2016, beating Murray once again in both of those finals.

He returned to the win column in 2019, beating Nadal comprehensively in the final. He recorded his second three-peat in Melbourne after beating Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev in the 2020 and 2021 finals, respectively.

Djokovic was denied an opportunity to defend his title at the 2022 Australian Open due to his unvaccinated status.

He returned with a vengeance this year, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final to capture his tenth Australian Open title, per The Guardian.

Djokovic’s dominance is not reserved for the hard court. He is also a master at grass, winning the Wimbledon Championships a whopping seven times.

He first won at the All England Club in 2011, beating Nadal in four sets in the final.

Djokovic then won back-to-back Wimbledon crowns in 2014 and 2015, beating the great Roger Federer in the final on both occasions.

He captured his fourth Wimbledon title in 2018, beating Kevin Anderson in straight sets in the final.

Djokovic’s most memorable Wimbledon win came in 2019 when he outlasted Federer in an epic five-set final.

He saved two championship points in the fifth set before beating the Swiss maestro in a tie-breaker.

He continued his dominance on grass, capturing the 2021 title with a win over Matteo Berrettini.

His seventh and last Wimbledon crown came in 2022 when he defeated Nick Kyrgios in the championship match.

The French Open proved to be the hardest Grand Slam for Djokovic to win. Nadal’s incredible dominance at Roland Garros meant the Serb has only won three French Open titles in his career.

His first French Open title came in 2016 when he beat Murray in four sets in the final.

His second Roland Garros title arrived in 2021 when he came back from two sets down to beat Tsitsipas in the final.

What made that championship even more special for Djokovic was that he also defeated the King of Clay during that title run. He outlasted Nadal in a gruelling four-set clash, winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 in the 2021 semis.

Djokovic made history when he won his third French Open title last June. He clinched a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title when he defeated Casper Ruud in the final in Paris.

Djokovic has extended that record to 24 Grand Slam titles following his win over Daniil Medvedev in the 2023 US Open final.

Court also triumphed at the French Open five times, winning the championship in Paris in 1962, 1964, 1969, 1970, and 1973.
