Australian Open: Tennis ace Novak Djokovic has set his Australian Open final date with Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Melbourne Park as he defeated Tommy Paul 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinal of the tournament. Djokovic’s two-hour and 20-minute win set up a championship match clash against Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas, who earlier defeated Karen Khachanov 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3.
Sunday’s final will also be a straight shootout for No. 1 in the ATP Rankings, with the winner set to leapfrog Carlos Alcaraz into the top spot on Monday.
‘My level is great’
“I have strong memories of 15 years ago, but I wouldn’t have imagined things to have turned out like they have. I’m so blessed and grateful, marvelling and cherishing every moment,” Djokovic said after the match.
“My level is great, it’s perfect. It’s 110 percent. Stefanos, see you in two days! Of course, you’re not as fresh as in the beginning, but we put in a lot of hours throughout the off-season into fitness to be in a good enough condition to play best of five,” he added.
The Serbian who suffered a lot before the last year’s tournament will compete for his 10th Australian Open title.
Sensational Tsitsipas
Earlier, Tsitsipas made it to his first Grand Slam title final by defeating Karan Khachanov in the semifinal. In a 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3 semifinal victory, the Greek dominated with his all-action game, keeping his opponent under constant pressure in the three-hour, 21-minute match.
