Djokovic missed it because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19. However, he did not disappoint his fans as Djokovic defeated Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) in the final. Stefanos Tsitsipas showed a great fight in the second and third sets. But, it was not enough to prevent Novak Djokovic from winning the Australian Open title for the 10th time in his illustrative career. With this win, he has now won 22 Grand Slams, equal to Rafael Nadal. Even, he has now a 28-match winning streak at the hard-court tournament. With this win, Djokovic is back at the number one ATP Rankings also. During the post-match presentation, Tsitsipas said: “I don’t know what to say but it speaks for itself. It’s all in the numbers. You make me a better player when I am on the court. I have had the privilege to play a lot of high-intensity games but these are the matches I have been working for my entire life for. He’s one of the greatest in our sport…. He’s the greatest who ever held a tennis racket.”

Meanwhile, Djokovic said: “Good evening, I have to say I am touched by Stefanos’ words. Thanks for being so kind and respectful. I congratulate you on an amazing tournament. This is definitely not your last grand slam. You have lots of time, more than me. I still think you are very interesting. We are small countries that don’t have a tennis tradition. The message for any young tennis player around the world who is dreaming of being where Stefanos and I are is: dream big. It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. Only the team and the family know what we have been through. I would say this is the biggest victory in my life, considering the circumstances,” Novak Djokovic concluded.
