Novak Djokovic faces Pedro Martinez in the first round of the Australian Open, marking his 81st Grand Slam appearance. This ties the longevity record previously held by Feliciano Lopez and Roger Federer—a mark the Serb could surpass at Roland Garros.

At 38, Djokovic continues to push his limits and exceed expectations. Behind them are Richard Gasquet and Stan Wawrinka with 75 appearances each. The Swiss, in his final year on the professional tour, could potentially add three more.
