The Australian Open is one of the major tennis tournaments and is played in January. It is also one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The tournament was established in 1905, and 111 editions have taken place since then. The tournament was played on grass courts earlier, but after 1988, every game was played on a hard court. The Australian legend Rodney Heath was the inaugural champion. On the other hand, the Serbian legend Novak Djokovic has won the title most times (10). So let us look at the Australian Open men’s winner list and know every champion since 1905.
