It took an extra year, but Novak Djokovic is exactly where he intended to be: at the top. He defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) to win the 2023 Australian Open, his record-tying 22nd Grand Slam victory.
Djokovic was dominant against Tsitsipas for the entire match, especially during the tiebreakers, He scored the final three points of the first tiebreaker to win 7-4, then built a 5-0 lead in the second. It got as close as 6-5 before Djokovic closed out the match — and ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the world.
