Novak Djokovic after three complicated rounds, definitively gets rid of the problem in his left thigh and secures the tenth final of the Australian Open 2023in an extraordinarily perfect way. After Alex Minaur and Andrey Rublev, the Serbian champion gets rid of one of the revelations of the tournament, the United States Tommy Paulwith an excellent 7-5 6-1 6-2.
Although in reality the first set is slightly conditioned by a small empty pass. The Serbian champion, among other things chasing his tenth title at Melbourne Park, take full control of the matter and leave the crumbs on the street thanks to a performance who was then poor in some places.
Obviously, together with the tenth final of the Slam Down-Under, The Serbian equals Serena Williams in the ranking of Grand Slam finals (33) and outstands Andre Agassi in the ranking of the most consecutive victories (26) at the Australian Grand Slam.
To find defeat in Australia, you even have to rewind the tape to five years ago.
Djokovic beats Paul to win Australian Open final
On the opposite side of the net Stefanos Tsitsipaswhich is confirmed as the absolute protagonist after a tournament.
Similar situation to that of Flushing Meadows, with the first place in sight also for the Greek talent. And the winner takes it all. Tsitsipas reaches the second major final of her career thanks to his success against Karen Khachanov, who with everything at his disposal tries to put a stick in the Greek’s works.
Bravo for avoiding problems in the tie break of the first set, but above all for canceling the third and closing with 7-6(4) 6-4 6-7(5) 6-3. In short: it will be a repeat of the Bois de Boulogne 2021 match. In that case Djokovic had recovered two sets from a deficit before triumphing.
Among other things, the Greek became the tenth active player to reach more than one Grand Slam final in his career and the youngest to do so since 2011 at the Australian Open. Next, the match point against Paul, which allowed Novak Djokovic to reach the final of the Australian Open:
