Notable Records from the Australian Open Through 2026

1. Monica Seles holds the record for the most consecutive Australian Open matches won, with a total of 33 victories. Seles first won the title in 1991 as a 17-year-old, followed by her title defense in 1992. After a two-year hiatus due to a stabbing incident, she returned in 1996 to continue her winning streak, which ended in 1999 when Martina Hingis defeated her in the semifinals.

2. Novak Djokovic matched Seles’ 33-match streak in 2024 and complimented her as a childhood idol. His streak lasted six years, encompassing four titles, and included a victory in 2019 against Rafael Nadal. The streak concluded in 2024 when he was defeated by Jannik Sinner in the semifinals.

3. Martina Hingis became the youngest singles champion at the Australian Open in 1997 at 16 years and 117 days, winning the title without dropping a set. She also won the doubles title that year and repeated her singles-doubles double in 1998 and 1999, making her the only player in the Open era to achieve this feat three consecutive years.

4. Novak Djokovic's match against Rafael Nadal in the 2012 final, lasting five hours and 53 minutes, is recorded as the longest Grand Slam final in history, concluding at 1:37am. While John Isner’s match against Nicolas Mahut in 2010 is the longest overall match, Djokovic's final remains the longest among Grand Slam finals.

5. Roger Federer won the 2007 Australian Open without losing a single set, becoming just the second man in the Open era to achieve such a feat, following Bjorn Borg in 1980.

6. Serena Williams has won three Grand Slam titles after saving match points, the most in the Open era. Notably, she saved match points during her 2003 and 2005 Australian Open runs, overcoming Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova, respectively.

7. Ken Rosewall is recognized as the oldest men's Grand Slam champion in the Open era after winning the Australian Open in 1972 at the age of 37 years, two months, and one day. He also holds the record for the youngest men’s champion, winning in 1953 at 18 years and 76 days.

8. Ash Barty became the only Australian player to reach multiple singles quarterfinals at Melbourne Park, achieving this milestone in 2022 after previously reaching the stage in 2020 and 2021. This performance placed her alongside Pat Cash in overall quarterfinal appearances, while surpassing Wendy Turnbull for the most by an Australian woman.

9. Lleyton Hewitt set the record for the latest finishing Grand Slam match, completing a match against Marcos Baghdatis at 4:34am in 2008 after delays. This record was later challenged in 2023 when Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis concluded their match at 4:06am.

10. Mats Wilander is the only player to win the Australian Open at both Kooyong and Melbourne Park. He won titles at Kooyong in 1983 and 1984, and the inaugural Melbourne Park title in 1988, after saving two match points against Pat Cash in a grueling four-hour and 28-minute final.
