Novak Djokovic has surpassed Roger Federer’s record for the most Grand Slam appearances, marking another significant achievement in his career. Djokovic’s consistency in competing at the highest level has enabled him to make more Grand Slam appearances than any other male player in history.
Djokovic played his 430th Grand Slam match at the Australian Open on Wednesday, when he registered a hard-fought win over Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria in the second round.
Djokovic improved to 379-51 for his career at major tournaments, a .881 winning percentage, by defeating 21-year-old Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria 6-1, 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-2 in a match briefly interrupted by light rain before Rod Laver Arena's retractable roof was shut.
This milestone underscores his longevity and commitment to the sport, especially considering the physical and mental demands of playing at the top level.
“Grand Slams, of course, they are the pillars of our sport. They mean everything for the history of the sport. … Definitely the most important tournaments,” Djokovic said. “I'm just blessed to be making another record, I guess, today.”
Federer, who retired from tennis in 2022, held the previous record, and Djokovic’s achievement adds another chapter to his already illustrious career. Djokovic has continued to break barriers and achieve new milestones, solidifying his place among the sport’s all-time greats.
