He, who has 19 Grand Slam men’s singles titles and 84 ATP singles titles overall that includes a record nine titles of Australian Open and a joint record 36 Masters events (shared with Rafael Nadal), is now behind tying a record of 20th Grand Slam trophy with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in absence of the Spaniard who withdrew from the tournament after losing to the Serbian in French Open semi-finals. He won his 19th Grand Slam title after overcoming Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Roland Garros final this year.
