Where, when and how Novak Djokovic won each of his 24 Grand Slam titles.
Novak Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam title by beating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the U.S. Open final on Sunday.
That added to Djokovic’s record for the most major singles tennis championships won by a man — Rafael Nadal is next with 22; Roger Federer, who announced his retirement last year, has 20 — and broke a tie with Serena Williams for the most in the Open era, which began in 1968.
Like Djokovic, Margaret Court won a total of 24, but some of hers were earned during the sport’s amateur era.
Here is a look at each of Djokovic’s major championships so far — 10 at the Australian Open, seven at Wimbledon, Four at the U.S. Open and three at the French Open — starting with the first:
