Beating Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam might be the toughest task in tennis history.
The Serbian has a record 24 major titles to his name, with at least three triumphs at all four majors – and a record ten victories at the Australian Open.
However, some have been able to crack the Djokovic code, even in finals.
We look at the four men who have now beaten the all-time great in multiple Slam finals.
Carlos Alcaraz – 2
Alcaraz is the latest to join this exclusive group, having beaten the Serbian in both of their Grand Slam final meetings.
Twelve months ago the Spaniard edged an instant classic, downing Djokovic on Centre Court in five sets to claim a first Wimbledon title.
He defended his title on Sunday in scintillating fashion, not dropping a set in an emphatic victory, claiming a fourth major title overall.

Andy Murray – 2
Djokovic had his fair share of success over Murray, winning all four Australian Open finals the two contested, and the 2016 French Open final.
However, Murray defeated the world No 2 for two of the most significant victories of his career.
The first of those was at the US Open in 2012 where, after being forced into a decider despite leading by two sets, he eventually closed out victory to win his first major – after four Grand Slam final defeats previously.
Nine months later, the Brit then beat Djokovic in straight sets for the most iconic win of his career, prevailing in the 2013 Wimbledon final to end a 77-year wait for a British men’s singles winner.
Stan Wawrinka – 2
Much like Murray, Wawrinka won three Grand Slam titles – and beat Djokovic in the final of two of them.
The first of those came at Roland Garros in 2015, the Swiss star producing one of his greatest performances to claim his second major title from a set down – and denying the Serb what would’ve been a Career Grand Slam.
The following year, Wawrinka again came from a set down to shock Djokovic in the 2016 US Open, claiming his third and final major.
Rafael Nadal – 5
The greatest rival of Djokovic’s career, Nadal and the world No 2 met a staggering 59 times – including nine times in Grand Slam finals.
Djokovic prevailed in four of those meetings, but the Spaniard holds a slight edge with five triumphs.
Three of those wins come on his beloved clay at Roland Garros, picking up victories in the 2012, 2014, and 2020 finals.
However, he also had success in the slower conditions at the US Open, beating his great rival in the 2010 and 2013 finals.
