Novak Djokovic beats Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to win a 10th Australian Open tennis title and a record-equaling 22nd grand slam
After securing the 6-3 7-6 7-6 victory, Djokovic went to the players’ box and uncontrollably sobbed, the significance and emotion of his achievement overcoming him. Even as he returned to his seat on the court, Djokovic hid his face in a towel, the television cameras picking up the sound of his continued crying. The statistics are astonishing, the quality and consistency of his tennis even more so. Djokovic last lost at the Australian Open in 2018, a winning streak that spans 28 matches.
Victory over Tsitsipas in Melbourne, which took just under three hours, also returned Djokovic to the top of the men’s world rankings, a spot he will occupy for a record-extending 374th week. Tsitsipas, playing in his second grand slam final, the first of which, at the French Open, also ended in defeat to Djokovic, can take heart that he is not the first player to be outplayed by the 35-year-old Serb on the big occasion. The Greek’s serve was under pressure from the get-go.
