Novak Djokovic set a new record for the most Grand Slam titles at the 2025 Australian Open. He won his 25th Grand Slam title, surpassing the previous all-time record he shared with Margaret Court. This victory was his 11th at the Australian Open, further solidifying his status as the most successful player in the tournament’s history.
In his opening match, Djokovic came from a set down to defeat American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy in four sets (4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2). This match marked the first time he played with Andy Murray as his coach, who has recently joined his team following his retirement from professional play. This partnership was highlighted as Djokovic navigated through the early stages of the tournament, overcoming a challenging start to advance to the second round where he was set to face Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria.
Throughout the tournament, Djokovic’s performance was marked by resilience, especially considering his age of 37, making him the oldest man to win the Australian Open in the Open Era. His achievement was not only in numbers but also in the context of facing younger, highly competitive players like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev, who were part of his potential draw path.
His quest for this record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title was covered extensively across various platforms, with posts on X celebrating his achievement and web articles analyzing his career trajectory and the historical significance of this win in the annals of tennis. This victory also ties him with Roger Federer for the most Grand Slam matches played, showcasing his longevity and dominance in the sport.
