Djokovic won his 22nd major title — and 10th Australian Open — when he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in the final Sunday. The overall record belongs to Margaret Court, who won 24 Grand Slam titles. Serena Williams won 23.
Nadal was the defending champion in Australia and entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, but lost in the second round to American Mackenzie McDonald. After that match, it was announced Nadal will miss the next two months with a hip injury.
Djokovic has taken over the No. 1 ranking in the world after his win in Australia and is the current Wimbledon title holder, too. The Serb will have a chance to set a new men’s major-title record at the French Open in May.
