Men's Tennis: 6 players with the most Australian Open titles

# Roger Federer - 6 titles

Roger Federer arrives in Zurich after winning his record 6th Australian Open title in 2018

Widely considered to be the greatest of all-time, on account of his prolonged success in such a demanding sport, Roger Federer is the symbol of longevity in sports. At an age when most of his peers have hung their racquets, Federer still seems to be going strong.

After uncharacteristically having endured a barren run in Grand Slams for 4 years from 2013 to 2016 inclusive, Federer finally broke the jinx at the 2017 Australian Open.

Seeded outside the top 15 on account of having missed the bulk of the 2016 season due to injury, Federer was stretched and faced off against his old foe Nadal in a throwback to their epic 2009 final clash. The result was different this time as a jubilant Federer finally won his long-awaited 18th Grand Slam title. The following year he remarkably retained his title at the age of 36. 2019 will see him bid to become the oldest ever Grand Slam winner in the Open Era surpassing Ken Rosewall's record.

Prior to 2017, Federer has won the Australian Open on 4 different occasions in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2010. In fact, he is the only player apart from Serena Williams to have won the title on Rebound Ace as well as Plexicushion surfaces.
