Kicking Off The Grand Slam Season
The Grand Slam season begins at the Australian Open, where fans from across the globe come for stellar tennis and a laid-back atmosphere in Melbourne. Of late, the Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific has been a playground for the Big Four, with either Novak Djokovic (10; 2008, '11-'13, '15-'16, '19-'21, '23), Roger Federer (6; 2004, '06-'07, '10, '17-'18) and Rafael Nadal (2; 2009, '22) having won all but two of the Australian Open titles since 2004. Russian Marat Safin (2005) and Swiss Stan Wawrinka (2014) broke the streak. Brit Andy Murray has finished runner-up a record five times.
