Novak Djokovic celebrates with the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup trophy following his victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the men’s singles final match of the Australian Open in Melbourne, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023.Only two women – Margaret Court, with 24, and Serena Williams, with 23 – are ahead of him.
He took a 4-1 lead in the first, then reeled off the last three points. He led 5-0 in the closing tiebreaker and, when it finished, he pointed to his temple before screaming, a prelude to all of the tears. Perhaps. Yet Djokovic pushes and pushes and pushes some more, until it’s the opponent who is something less than perfect on one swing, either missing or providing an opening to pounce.
