Djokovic was on fire as he thrashed Tsitsipas from the first set itself making a win on a 6-3 aggregate.  On the other hand, Tsitsipas tried to come back stronger with some nice serves, but his efforts went in vain as he lost the second set on a tie break making it a 2-0 lead. Albeit on the third set, the Greek outperformed his first two sets, but that was not enough to stop the Serbian’s experience.

With this win, Novak ended his desolate last year, as he was not able to perform for the Australian Open 2022 because of deportation issues. 

Australian Open 2023 finals also saw Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his girlfriend Jodie Haydon, an Australian financial service professional and women’s advocate attending the finals. This was the first time the Prime Minister went with his girlfriend to a sports event.
