An emotional Novak Djokovic called it 'the biggest victory in my life' after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas to win a 10th Australian Open title and equal Rafael Nadal's 22 Grand Slam crowns on Sunday.
Serbia's Novak Djokovic holding the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup poses with former Australian tennis player Ken Rosewall after his victory against Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas during the men's singles final on day fourteen of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 29, 2023.
The 35-year-old climbed to his player’s box afterwards to embrace his mother and broke down in uncontrollable tears, collapsing to the ground sobbing. The emphatic victory over Tsitsipas capped a remarkable return for Djokovic to Melbourne Park, having missed last year’s tournament when he was deported over his Covid vaccination stance.
“Only my team and family know what we have been through in the last four or five weeks and this is why I’d probably say this is the biggest victory in my life considering the circumstances.”After his three-year ban from Australia was lifted, Djokovic won the lead-up Adelaide International before reinforcing his stature as an all-time great in Melbourne.
