Lawn Tennis – Australian Open men’s singles champions

The Australian Open is an annual tennis tournament created in 1905.

It is played on outdoor hard courts at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia.

The Australian Open is managed by Tennis Australia, formerly the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia (LTAA).

The Australian Open is played over a two-week period beginning in mid-January.

It is chronologically the first of the four Grand Slam tournaments each year since 1987.

The tournament was first known as the Australasian Championships.

It became the Australian Championships in 1927 and the Australian Open in 1969.

The event was not held from 1916 to 1918 because of World War I, from 1941 to 1945 because of World War II and in 1986 due to change of schedule.

The Australian Open was an Open Era event for the first time in 1969.

Novak Djokovic (2008, 2011–2013, 2015–2016, 2019) holds the record for most titles with seven.
