Another win for Djokovic
By winning a record tenth title, Novak Djokovic has renewed his affinity with the Australian Open. The Serb's straight sets win over Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas has tied him with Rafael Nadal for the all-time Grand Slam men's record of 22 titles. Djokovic even sported a jacket with "22" emblazoned on the front while celebrating his victory. With the Australian Open win, Djokovic also jumps back to world No.1. He already holds the record for the most weeks atop the world rankings at 374, and this number will continue to swell. The win at Melbourne Park serves as yet another feather in Djokovic's cap and is a solid proof that the Serbian great still has in him what it takes to win a Major. With an astonishing 64 collective Grand Slam titles, the triumvirate of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have created incredible metrics that in many ways redefined tennis greatness.
