Roger Federer beat Marin Cilic 6-2 6-7(5) 6-3 3-6 6-1 in the Melbourne final.
The Swiss star was defending champion after beating Rafael Nadal in the final last year.
And he wasted little time getting onto social media once he got his hands on the trophy!
Federer tweeted a picture of himself with the Australian Open trophy, seemingly from his locker room.
And in typical Federer style, he simply wrote: “20” with a heart and trophy emoji.

Federer is now behind only Steffi Graf (24), Serena Williams (23) and Margaret Court (22) on the list of all-time Grand Slam singles titles.
He will likely miss the French Open on his unflavoured clay in order to prepare for Wimbledon in the summer.
Speaking on court before the trophy presentation, Federer said: “I’m so happy it’s unbelievable.
“It’s a long day waiting for the final.
“It’s easier when it’s in the afternoon. You sleep, go out there and play and that’s it.
“At night you think about the match and it’s tough.
“Winning is a dream come true. The fairytale continues for us, for me.
“After the great year I had last year, it’s incredible.”
