A win at a Grand Slam tournament always demands an enormous effort. The five-set format, the pressure of the big stage and the challenge of making sporting history. In tennis' most historic events, each step forward comes with a big share of pressure, and victories are only earned by leaving everything on the court, both physically and mentally.
From Melbourne to New York, via Paris and London, the stars of the ATP Tour seek matches of a special prestige. The battles that might elevate them to a higher echelon in the locker room.
ATPTour.com looks at the win hauls at each Grand Slam, with the All England Club providing the setting for the latest record.

Australian Open: Novak Djokovic, 104 wins
Djokovic has also notched some legendary statistics at the season's first major, where he has broken every record worth mentioning. His record for men’s singles titles (10) has a logical consequence: a win tally that surpasses that of anyone else. Djokovic’s 104 victories at Melbourne Park, where he came within a set of clinching the crown this year, are the pinnacle of the season’s opening Grand Slam tournament.
In a season in which he has continued to break records, the former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings also took over from Federer (102) for most match wins at the Australian Open. A true master of hard-court tennis, Djokovic surpassed the Swiss by defeating Lorenzo Musetti in this year’s quarter-finals, reaching one of the last milestones he was yet to achieve Down Under. The 39-year-old, who earned 33 consecutive wins at the event between 2019 and 2024, has truly stamped his authority at the first major of the season.

Roland Garros: Rafael Nadal, 112 wins
It is with good reason that Roland Garros erected a statue in honour of Rafael Nadal. During his professional career, the Spaniard set one of the most impressive records in any sport, winning the tournament on 14 occasions. The dizzying collection of trophies represents an effort beyond all reason: 112 matches won from 116 appearances on court. Currently, with an 11-win lead against his nearest rival Djokovic, this is the Grand Slam tournament with the most unassailable match-win record.
To understand the feat achieved by the Spaniard, one only needs to glance at the numbers for his closest rivals. Djokovic (101), Federer (73) and Guillermo Vilas (57) make up the trio of players who have tasted victory most frequently after Nadal on the clay courts of Paris. Looking forward, Djokovic cannot tie or pass Nadal’s record until at least 2028.

Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic, 106* wins
London has been a key venue in Djokovic’s career. The Serbian has lifted the crown on Centre Court seven times. Although Djokovic does not own the record for most titles on the London grass — an honour still held by eight-time champion Roger Federer — he has managed to become the man with the most wins there. The Serbian equalled the Swiss legend’s record (105) with his victory in the third round in 2026, and has now raised that bar to 106 wins.
Since his first appearance in 2005, when he was just a teenager, Djokovic has managed to make the traditional courts of London synonymous with his success. In 21 visits to the grass-court major, the Serbian has never left empty-handed, racking up the wins season after season. Djokovic has maintained this consistency well into the latter years of his career, proving his deep understanding of the grass-court game well into his late-30s. The 39-year-old has reached at least the semi-finals on each of his past seven visits to the All England Club, achieving a level of consistency at this stage of his professional career that surpasses that of any other Grand Slam tournament.
*record could change this week

US Open: Jimmy Connors, 98 wins
The only record beyond the grasp of the Big 3 could soon change hands. Jimmy Connors was always synonymous with tenacity on court, a player who was formidable like few others in his battle for major titles. The US Open illustrated, like few other tournaments, that relentless drive for victory, as he was the only player to lift the trophy on three different surfaces. Grass, clay and hard courts all provided the backdrop for the great American to show off his prowess, and to prove he was capable of battling his way to the trophy regardless of the playing conditions.
Connors was a special player in many ways, including his ability to compete throughout his 30s in an era very different from today’s. The American competed in Grand Slam tournaments until the age of 40, earning successes from his youth right through to the final stages of his career. In 22 US Open appearances, the American notched 98 match wins. It is a figure that no one on the professional circuit has yet managed to match.
With 95 wins in New York, second in the tournament’s all-time ranking, Djokovic currently finds himself just five matches short of a century in the Big Apple. If the Serbian can do it, he would become the only player with at least 100 wins at every Grand Slam tournament.
Winning at any Grand Slam is a huge feat. Winning there continuously is the stuff of legends.
