Novak Djokovic route to the final | Serb hoping for tenth Australian Open title

Andrew Francis in Australian Open 27 Jan 2023

Novak Djokovic has already won more the Australian Open more times than any other man in history but he is looking to increase his number of titles to ten in 2023.

The Serb is the heavy favourite coming into the tournament but it only the fourth seed after a missing both this event and the US Open in 2022. His victory at Wimbledon, his seventh title on the grass, was a statement of intent though and went a long way to show that Djokovic is still the one to beat.

Djokovic has had the best preparation possible ahead of the Australian Open, winning the Adelaide International event on Monday. That victory means he hasn’t been beaten on Australian soil in 34 matches and he looks in incredible form heading into the first Grand Slam of the year.
