Serbian Tennis star, Novak Djokovic has defeated rival Tsitsipas to emerge champions of the 2023 Australia open on Sunday morning.
Djokovic dropped just one set all tournament despite saying he feared a left hamstring problem might force him to withdraw, and he finished with a superb win over first-time Melbourne finalist Tsitsipas to become the fifth player to win 22 Grand Slam singles titles, after Margaret Court (24), Serena Williams (23), and Steffi Graf and Nadal (both 22).
His status in Australia, meanwhile, is unmatched, with the 35-year-old winning a 28th consecutive Australian Open match and a 41st in a row in the country as a whole.
Djokovic was overcome with emotion after climbing into the stands to celebrate with his family.
Djokovic also reclaims the world No 1 ranking from Carlos Alcaraz, and it would be very difficult to argue that he does not justify that position having once again put the younger generations in their place.
Elated Djokovic noted that Australia open is his most challenging competition in recent times.
