Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in the final this morning to scoop his seventh title in Melbourne.
It takes the Serbian one ahead of Emerson and long-term rival Roger Federer.
Emerson had joked in the build-up to the final that he wanted the world No 1 banned from the Australian Open to keep his record in tact.
And Djokovic revealed how the 82-year-old was not best pleased with having his name removed from the top of the Melbourne tree.

“It was the most beautiful, most expensive photo of the night, without a doubt, standing with those four legends.
“Yeah, I mean, I’ll definitely cherish that forever.”
Djokovic’s success in Melbourne took his carer Grand Slam tally up to 15, ahead of Pete Sampras.
And the 31-year-old was in disbelief at surpassing one of his heroes.
“Well, I’ve said it before, but he was someone that I look up to,” Djokovic added.
“When I was starting to play tennis actually, one of the first images of tennis in general was him playing Wimbledon, winning I think his first title back in ’92, I think.
“I was a small boy in Kopaonik, this mountain resort in the south of Serbia.
“Nobody has ever touched the tennis racket before me. I did not have a tennis tradition in my family. I did have sports tradition.
“So it was definitely a sign of destiny to start playing tennis, to aspire to be as good as Pete.
“To surpass him with Grand Slam titles, I’m speechless.
“I haven’t had too much time to contemplate on everything that has happened, but I’m planning to do that.”
