Novak Djokovic (Serbia) contested his 36th Grand Slam singles final at the US Open on 10 September 2023. The 24-time major winner appeared in his first final in 2007, and has contested all four Grand Slam finals in a calendar year three times, in 2015, 2021 and 2023, lifting the trophy at three of the four tournaments on each occasion. Since 2007, Djokovic has appeared in 10 finals at the Australian Open (winning them all), seven at the French Open (three titles), nine at Wimbledon (seven titles) and 10 at the US Open (four titles).
