The Australian Open has become Novak Djokovic’s personal kingdom. With nine titles, the Serbian superstar reigns supreme in Melbourne, especially recently. Djokovic’s dominance down under this past decade has been utterly astonishing.
Since winning his first Australian Open crown in 2008, Djokovic has amassed an incredible 75-8 record at the event. Beyond just lifting the trophy, he has ripped through draws with ruthless precision in the last several years.
From 2019-2021, Djokovic pieced together a jaw-dropping 21-match win streak in Melbourne, capturing three straight Australian Open titles in imperious fashion before being deported in 2022 over vaccination issues. Prior to that, Djokovic’s iron grip on the hard courts was unbreakable.
The numbers illustrate his recent supremacy. In his last seven appearances, Djokovic lost only eight total sets while dropping just three matches. He defeated rivals like Nadal and Medvedev in lopsided finals, underscoring his mastery.
At this year’s Australian Open, Djokovic looks laser-focused on reclaiming his dominant form in Melbourne after missing 2022. Now with the record for most Australian Open men’s singles titles, Djokovic’s motivation stems from making up for lost time.
If his peerless past success in Melbourne is any indication, Djokovic appears ready to continue his undisputed reign over the Australian Open this January.
