Novak Djokovic celebrates with the trophy after his victory in the Australian Open final. "It has been definitely emotionally the most challenging Grand Slam that I ever had with everything that was happening, injury, off-the-court stuff, quarantines," he said. Much like Dominic Thiem in last year's final, Djokovic faced an opponent desperate for a seat at the Grand Slam table. Unlike Thiem, who pushed Djokovic to five sets, Medvedev never threatened in his second major final. Nadal is the only man to have won more titles at a single Grand Slam, with his 13 at the French Open.
