Djokovic's triumph at the 2020 Australian Open enabled the Serb to break a tie with 13 other players and become the first to win a Grand Slam title in three different decades.

In the present decade, Federer and Nadal are the only players with a chance of joining Djokovic in this rarefied club. The two all-time Grand Slam title leaders have each won Grand Slam titles in the 2000s (Federer - 15, Nadal - 6) and 2010s (Federer - 5, Nadal - 13).

By winning a record-extending 8th Australian Open title, Djokovic joined Nadal (12 at Roland Garros) and Federer (8 at Wimbledon) as the only players in the Open Era to have won 8 or more titles at a Major.

Among all players who have won the Australian Open, Djokovic's win-loss record (74-7; 90.24%) is only surpassed by Andre Agassi (48-5; 90.56%).
