Novak Djokovic has won his 10th Australian Open title and equalled Rafael Nadal’s record of 22 men’s grand slam singles titles.

The Serbian world number five will also reclaim the world number one ranking from Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz after his 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/) victory over third-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The intent from Djokovic was there even before the players stepped on court in this one.

Djokovic completed his final practice session without the heavy strapping that has been on his left hamstring for the rest of the past fortnight and when he walked onto Rod Laver Arena, the raucous Serbian fans in attendance gave  him a loud ovation.

When he raced out of the blocks — playing at the high level that saw him destroy both Alex De Minaur and Andrey Rublev — and a Tsitsipas double fault allowed Djokovic to break in the fourth game of the match, the arena erupted in chants of “Nole, Nole, Nole”.Djokovic was playing as only he can on Rod Laver Arena.(Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)none

The large contingent of Greek fans had been rendered silent and the atmosphere inside Rod Laver Arena was more reminiscent of an international football match.

Djokovic too was buoyed and he should have been, Tsitsipas won just five points against the Djokovic serve and looked overawed and timid in just his second grand slam final.

But in the second set the complexion of the match changed entirely.

Tsitsipas, who had been a passive passenger in the opening set upped his level and his firepower, particularly off the forehand.

While he mixed it up in terms of spins and velocity, when he decided to uncork on it he left Djokovic standing on multiple occasions.

Aces and unreturnable serves, frustrated one of the greatest returners to ever play the sport and he went at his box, most notably coach and one-time Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic.

A frustrated looking Ivanisevic could do little but take the abuse as Djokovic got demonstrative.

Tsitsipas one the other hand grew stronger, and was roaring ad thumping his chest.

He had his chance at 5-4, but Djokovic, facing his first break point of the match on a set point calmly controlled it and unleashed a savage forehand winner to save the set.

Without a single break it was off to a tiebreak that will not exactly live in the annals of tennis history.

Seven of the 11 points in the breaker were decided with unforced errors.

Djokovic missed backhands and double-faulted … Tsitsipas’s forehand deserted him with five errors from the wing to hand the tiebreak to the future Hall of Famer.

Tsitsipas though would not give up and after Djokovic took a long comfort break, he broke in the opening game of the third as the Greek fans erupted.

But Djokovic broke right back before the pair traded comfortable service holds all the way to a tiebreak.

That tiebreak was simply brutal as Djokovic dominated Tsitsipas, pushing him all over the court with tremendous power to take a 5-0 lead.

Try as he might Tsitsipas could not bridge that gap.

He got it back to 5-3 with some brilliant play before a Djokovic forehand winner gave him three championship points.

Tsitsipas saved a pair with big first serves to get it back to 6-5 before Djokovic claimed the match and title, courtesy of a forehand that forced Tsitsipas’s final error.
