The Serb has never been defeated in a final at Melbourne Park and holds a 7-0 record. He defeated Rafael Nadal in 5 grueling sets in 2012, in what is regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. Novak is closely followed by Roger Federer and Roy Emerson who have both won 6 Australian Open trophies each.

When Roger Federer defeated Pete Sampras in that great Wimbledon match of 2001, the stage looked set for the change of guard in tennis. 16 years later in 2017, Federer would go on to end Sampras’s record at Wimbledon by winning his 8th title at SW19.
Federer has played 12 finals at the All England Club, winning 8 of them. He is arguably now regarded as the greatest Grass Court player of all time. At Wimbledon, Federer is closely followed by Sampras who has 7 titles to his name.
Unlike the other 3 Grand Slams, the US Open has not been dominated by any single player. Here Jimmy Connors, Roger Federer and Pete Sampras lead the field, having won 5 titles each.
