Novak Djokovic continues to stand alone atop men's tennis history with a record 24 Grand Slam singles titles, the most ever won by a male player. The Serbian superstar surpassed previous benchmarks during his remarkable career, collecting championships across all four majors and establishing himself as one of the most accomplished athletes the sport has ever seen. As the game's current stars pursue their own place in history, Djokovic's record remains the standard every player is chasing.
At the same time, American men's tennis has an opportunity to end a championship drought that has lasted more than two decades. With both Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe reaching the semifinals, the United States is guaranteed to have at least one contender playing for a spot in the final. Shelton earned one of the biggest wins of his career by knocking off tournament favorite Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, while Tiafoe showed his trademark resilience by rallying from two sets down to advance. With Andy Roddick still the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles title at the 2003 US Open, this year's tournament has suddenly become a realistic opportunity for that streak to finally come to an end.
On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka is also chasing history in New York. The world No. 1 entered the US Open seeking a third consecutive title, a feat accomplished by only two women in the Open Era: Chris Evert, who won four straight crowns from 1975-78, and Serena Williams, who completed a three-peat from 2012-14. A championship this year would make Sabalenka just the third woman to win three consecutive US Open singles titles in the Open Era. Below is a complete list of every man to win multiple grand slams in the Open Era.
