Whenever the Australian Open is discussed, there is hardly anyone who will not acknowledge the dominance that the Serbian legend Novak Djokovic has displayed. After winning 10 Grand Slams in Australia, he has gone down to create a league of his own. However, despite the dominance that he has displayed and what he has achieved at the Australian Open, there is still one record that the Serb has not yet surpassed.

Interestingly, that record is set by none other than his rival on the court, Roger Federer. Even after 16 years, the record is safe and sound and the Serb still hunts for the success that once his Swiss rival emulated on the court.

One record where Roger Federer has managed to outshine Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open despite the Serb outwitting everyone

In 2007, Roger Federer did something incredible at the Australian Open that even Novak Djokovic hasn’t managed to do to date. He won the whole tournament without losing a single set in any of his seven matches. That means he won 21 sets in a row! No other male player has ever done that in the Open Era of tennis. Federer’s incredible performance showed how skilled and focused he was during the tournament.

Even though Novak Djokovic has won the Australian Open ten times, he hasn’t managed to do what Federer did in 2007. Despite Djokovic’s success, Federer’s flawless victory remains unmatched. It’s like a special record that stands out because no one else has been able to do it. Federer’s perfect run in Melbourne is still remembered as one of the greatest achievements in tennis.

Djokovic could have the stadium named after him in Australia

After making a name for himself in Australia, the Serbian has etched his name in the history books as the ultimate best. Seeing the undisputed dominance that he has displayed on the courts, the boss of the Australian Open, Craig Tiley announced that they could have a stadium named after him.

“Naming of an arena would be a combination of input that would have to happen. But I would be certainly a supporter of recognizing Novak in some way, unbelievable achievements here in Australia,” said Tiley in the interview.
