In January 2012, Novak defeated Nadal for a seventh consecutive time, this time in five sets to win his third Australian Open title and fifth grand slam singles title overall.

In January 2011, Novak defeated World No. 2 Roger Federer in the semifinals of the Australian Open to reach his second final at the event. This win makes Djokovic the only player other than Rafael Nadal to have defeated Federer in consecutive grand slams.

Djokovic headed into the clay court season 2011 undefeated since the start of the season — only the 3rd player in the Open Era to achieve this after Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.
