The Australian Open has experienced different periods of pure domination during which the champions not only claimed the titles but also went on to be unbeaten for a long time, thus influencing the very character of the tournament and its legacy. The few legends that have taken Melbourne as their personal territory went through the tournament first and foremost ruthlessly and unceasingly, winning one after another from the past on grass and up to now on hard courts.
1. Novak Djokovic: The King of Melbourne Park
Novak Djokovic has the record of most consecutive wins in Australian Open history and is recognized with the fabulous run of 26 straight victories in the period between 2019 and 2024. It seems that the game of the Serbian player perfectly fits the conditions at Melbourne. The combination of elastic movement, relentless defense, and unmatched return skills makes it so. His streak covers multiple title wins and nearly flawless campaigns in which he didn’t practically let any of his rivals breathe. No player has looked more at home on Rod Laver Arena than Djokovic during this stretch.
2. Andre Agassi: The Hard Court Master
The tennis star Andre Agassi made a series of 26 consecutive victories at the Australian Open from 2000 to 2004. This was a time when the men’s professional tour was full of big servers and aggressive baseliners and Agassi’s ball striking and early timing made him so hard to beat on hard courts. His reign was parallel to that of the tournament’s rising popularity on a global scale, which helped cement Melbourne as a site for elite hard court tennis.
3. Roger Federer: Grace Meets Consistency
The longest winning streak of Roger Federer’s at the Australian Open equals 20 consecutive matches won, achieved from 2006 to 2010. Although Federer is usually linked with the magic of Wimbledon, his graceful and attacking precision also translated excellently to Melbourne. During this period, he appeared in quite a few finals and raised the trophy multiple times, which was very clear that the combination of consistency and class could even overpower the hardest fields.
4. Ivan Lendl: Power in the Early Hard Court Era
In the period between 1985 and 1989, Ivan Lendl achieved an impressive record of 19 consecutive wins at the Australian Open. His strong physical make-up and heavy baseline hitting gave him a significant advantage during the tournament’s changing times. His win-and-loss record showed that the time when power tennis started dominating was just coming in and Lendl was one of the leading players of that change.

5. John McEnroe: Dominance on Grass
The tournament’s now-traditional hard court phase had not yet begun, and John McEnroe had already won at the Australian Open for a total of 18 consecutive times from 1980 to 1983. McEnroe’s serve-and-volley genius and deftness made it virtually impossible for him to get broken when he was playing on grass. The length of his streak serves as a marker of a very different Australian Open period, one characterized by quick points and the desire to attack.
