Novak Djokovic won a record-extending ninth Australian Open title over Daniil Medvedev in the final. He also won a second French Open over Stefanos Tsitsipas to achieve the Double Career Grand Slam.

In March, Djokovic broke Federer's record for most weeks spent as world No. 1. Medvedev won his first major title at the US Open, defeating Djokovic in the final and ending the latter's bid at a Grand Slam.
