Novak Djokovic, champion of the Australian Open
Novak Djokovic defeated Stéfanos Tsitsipás and won the Australian Open for the tenth time.
The Serbian tennis player beat Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/5) and won not only his tenth Australian Open but also his 22nd Grand Slam, tying Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal as the player with the most Grand Slam titles in history.
A year after being deported from Australia for refusing to take the vaccine against COVID-19, Djokovic was crowned champion in Melbourne and not only that, he also regained the number one position in the ATP ranking leaving behind Carlos Alcaraz who occupied that position and due to an injury could not play in Australia.
The Oceanic tour ended, the Serbian tennis player closed in the best way and continues to make tennis history, establishing himself as one of the best tennis players of all time.
The question is, how many Grand Slams will «Nole» finish with?
