Melbourne Park was buzzing this week as Novak Djokovic notched his 100th career win at the Australian Open, serving up a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Spain’s Pedro Martinez in first-round action.
This milestone night also saw Djokovic equal two all-time tennis records: he’s competing in his 21st Australian Open—tying the record for most AO appearances—and he’s now played in 81 Grand Slam tournaments.
“Centurion is pretty nice,” the 38-year-old Serbian smiled afterward, as he eyes an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title this year.
Djokovic’s dominance at Melbourne Park is unmatched: his record stands at an incredible 100-10, including 10 titles in Australia. Even more jaw-dropping, he’s the first man in tennis history to win 100 or more matches on all three Grand Slam surfaces: hard courts at Melbourne (100), grass at Wimbledon (102) and clay at Roland Garros (101).
Fresh off this historic win, Djokovic looks unstoppable as he continues his quest for glory at AO 2026. Stay tuned as the greatest of all time chases yet another milestone in Melbourne! 🎾🏆
