Djokovic, Tsitsipas in High Stakes Australian Open Final •Sabalenka beats Rybakina to win her first Grand Slam title Novak Djokovic, 35, will look to rise above the drama that has engulfed him at Melbou

Novak Djokovic, 35, will look to rise above the drama that has engulfed him at Melbourne Park and claim a record-extending 10th Australian Open title today in a generational clash against 24-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Sabalenka’s 11th straight win of the year will propel the Belarusian back to her career-high ranking of number two behind Iga Swiatek as she reaps the rewards of her improved mental stability. Never beaten at Melbourne Park after reaching the semis, fourth seed Djokovic is rated an unbackable favourite to triumph again under the floodlights at Rod Laver Arena.

It offers a rematch of the dramatic 2021 French Open final, in which Djokovic came back from two sets down to snatch the title and leave Greek Tsitsipas heartbroken.“I think he has never played a finals, am I wrong?” Djokovic asked incredulous reporters this week.At 35, Djokovic needs one major title to draw level with 36-year-old Nadal’s 22 in the all-time Grand Slam race.
