Nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic will have the chance to realise his double-digits dream after advancing to his 10th final on Friday.
The Serb—who returned to the draw in 2023 after his deportation from Melbourne made global headlines last year—will face Stefanos Tsitsipas at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday. That's after he beat Tommy Paul 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 to make it 14 sets won in a row at the Australian Open.
The hamstring strain that was believed to have been troubling Djokovic coming into the tournament posed no issue as he joked after his latest win: "It's great, it's perfect, it's 110 per cent." The veteran then issued a feisty challenge to another of his emerging rivals as he addressed Tsitsipas directly: "Stefanos, see you in two days."
