Novak Djokovic scored a huge win over Stefanos Tsitsipas to set a few records with the most important one being the grand slam total which is now at 22.
Djokovic had to watch Rafael Nada lift his 22nd at Roland Garros last year and it was a low point for the Serbian who was sitting at 20 with an unsure future ahead. He added one at Wimbledon and now finally equalled Nadal at 22 and it couldn't come at a better time. Djokovic has solidified as the best Australian Open player ever having now won 10 of them.
Only Nadal has a better record on one court and it's Roland Garros which he won over 10 times. It's a comeback in style after he was deported from the country last year and the win means a lot to him:
"This has been one of the most challenging tournaments in my life, considering what happened last year. There is a reason why I’ve played my best tennis in Australia. I try to pinch myself and live through these moments. This is probably the biggest victory of my life, considering the circumstances."
