Novak Djokovic has beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the men’s Australian Open title for a record-extending 10th time. Djokovic’s win sees him equal Rafael Nadal’s record of 22 Grand Slams won by a male tennis player.
A day earlier, fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus fought back from a set down to defeat reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to win the Australian Open women’s singles title on Saturday.
In a nerve-jangling final, Sabalenka overcame the gallant 22nd seed 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to record her first Grand Slam triumph.
It capped a spectacular tournament for Sabalenka, who hadn’t dropped a set before the final, while Rybakina of Kazakhstan was unable to add a Grand Slam title to last year’s Wimbledon crown. ■
