Can Stefanos Tsitsipas prevent heavy favourite Novak Djokovic from claiming a 10th Australian Open crown? John Brewin has the latest
If Novak Djokovic plays like he has been since last weekend then we are looking at a pushover. This could be the one that takes him level with Nadal. And everyone knows it. Stefanos Tsitsipas is meanwhile looking for his first slam, having lost in 2021 to Djokovic in the French Open final. His talent has been apparent for years now but like so many of his generation he has failed to live with the giants of the game.
He also has a problem with Djokovic, to whom he has lost the last nine times they have met, having won two of the first three they have met. Only Jannik Sinner and Karen Khachanov have taken sets off him while Djokovic has only dropped one, to Enzo Couacaud in the second round. They’ve been the best two best players on show in Melbourne but only one of them has chance to make himself the greatest of all time. The other must pull off one of the greatest shocks of all time.
