Roger Federer 20, Rafael Nadal 22 and Novak Djokovic… 22 ! This Sunday, Novak Djokovic wrote a new page in his immense history by winning his 22nd Grand Slam title, as much as his rival Majorcan, and the 10th in Melbourne. In a remake of the 2021 French Open final, the Serbian was once again imperial with a victory in three sets, 6-3, 7-6(4), 7-6(5), and 3 hours of play over Stefanos Tsitsipas. Djokovic, who is still undefeated in the Melbourne final, took over from Rafael Nadal and made it a double win, returning to the throne of the ATP rankings on Monday, a little more than seven months after leaving it. Of course, the words of Rafa and Roger were expected.
The Serb confirms his domination over his peers … who did not fail to congratulate him after this extraordinary victory. It is in Instagram story that Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal chose to react. “Incredible effort, again. All my congratulations” wrote the Helvetian. “Great accomplishment Nole. Many congratulations to you and your team. Totally deserved. Enjoy Nole,” posted the Majorcan.
