Tsitsipas: The duel with Djokovic in the final of the Australian Open is over, all data for the big match on Sunday
Novak Djokovic will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open final on Sunday morning (29/01, 10:30 a.m.) to repeat their epic duel at Roland Garros in 2021.
On Sunday morning (January 29, 10:30 a.m., Eurosport 1) Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic will meet in the final of the Australian Open.
The two tennis players overcame the obstacles of Khachanov and Paul, respectively, and reached the end of the street in a much-anticipated final.
More than a match
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic will face each other in a game that means a lot to both of them. First, the No. 1 in the world rankings is judged.
Whoever wins then automatically moves up to first place ahead of Carlos Alcarath, who did not compete in Melbourne due to injury.
Stefanos Tsitsipas wants to win his first Grand Slam title and confirm that he is rightly at the top.
On the other hand, Nole just wants his legend to grow. If he manages to win the trophy in Melbourne, he will reach 22 Grand Slams and overtake Nadal at the top of the list.
At the same time, he will reach 10 titles at the Australian Open and become only the second after the Spaniard to have double-digit wins. We remind you that Nadal has 14 at Roland Garros.
This is how they reached the final
Both Tsitsipas and Djokovic managed to reach the Australian Open final in complete control, dropping just a few sets in the process.
The Greek tennis player dropped just three sets en route to the final. He first eliminated Alis, Hijikata and Kriekspur without. His first major test came in the fourth round, where he needed five sets to break the resistance of Yannick Sinner while beating Khachanov in a set in the semifinals.
On the other hand, Djokovic only lost one set despite his injury. Nole went unbeaten in the first round against Karbages Baena, lost a set against Koakod and then went unbeaten against Dimitrov, De Minor, Rublev and Paul.
The history of the games
This is the 13th time the two have met. In the previous 12 matches, Nole clearly dominated.
The 35-year-old Serb has won 10 of the 12 games the two have played in recent times. In fact, he’s unbeaten in nine games.
Specifically, Tsitsipas’ last win against Djokovic was in Shanghai in May 2019.
