Tennis: Djokovic wins 10th Australian Open title, equals Nadal’s grand slam record

Novak Djokovic has secured his 10th Australian Open title after a 6-3 7-6 (4) 7-6 (5) victory over first-time Australian Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas on Sunday.

Djokovic, who could not feature at last year’s Australian Open after being deported for COVID-19 vaccination issues returned with a bang this time and he swept away every opponent he confronted before going on to win the historic title.

While this is Djokovic’s 10th Australian Open title, it is also his 22nd grand slam which has seen him equal Rafael Nadal at the top of the men’s all-time standings.
