Djokovic was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz at last year’s Wimbledon before bouncing back to win the US Open in record-breaking style.

Roger Federer has retired from the sport after a stunning career so he will no longer be able to add to his huge cabinet.

Rafael Nadal is still in action, but his best years also look to be behind him.

But who has won the most Grand Slams in men’s tennis and how many are up for grabs each year?

Who has won most men’s tennis Grand Slams?

In a game such as tennis where there is intense focus on the individual, making it through a world-class knockout tournament is no mean feat.

Andy Murray – Britain’s most successful male player in the modern era – has won three Slams in his career but doesn’t get near to the most successful on the list.

It’s Fred Perry who is the Brits Grand Slam king with nine titles, level on the leaderboard with Ken Rosewall, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and Andre Agassi.
