Australian Open 2023: Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic square off in the Melbourne final
In his pursuit of a record-tying 22nd men's major championship and a victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open final, Novak Djokovic said he doesn't feel any difference "in terms of stress."
On Sunday, Serbia's Djokovic, 35, takes on the Greek, 24, who is vying for his first Grand Slam victory.
Every Grand Slam is a great chance for me to try to win another title, Djokovic acknowledged.
"I'm not sure how many more chances I'll get,"
Tsitsipas will have a difficult time overcoming Djokovic, who has just dropped one set this tournament and hasn't lost in Melbourne since 2018.
Tsitsipas claims he "couldn't be more ready at this moment" despite the fact that Djokovic is competing in his 33rd major final and he is only playing in his second.
Rybakina loses to Sabalenka, who wins her maiden major singles championship.
After Tsitsipas defeats Khachanov's father, controversy was a "misrepresentation," according to Djokovic, who then destroys Paul.
Although Djokovic has won a record nine Australian Open men's singles titles, he was unable to defend his title last year because of his deportation from Australia as a result of a dispute over his Covid-19 immunization status.
His comeback to Melbourne Park has been hindered by a hamstring injury, and before Friday's semi-final match against American Tommy Paul, he had to cope with issues surrounding his father Srdjan.
After being photographed with supporters of the Russian president Vladimir Putin, Srdjan Djokovic decided to watch his son's victory at home to avoid "disruption."
But the athlete claims that despite having the chance to match Rafael Nadal's record of winning the most Grand Slam men's singles titles at the end of two weeks, he is not under any additional pressure.
In comparison to the majority of the other Slams I've played in my career, he added, "I don't believe it's particularly different in terms of stress or what I'm going through on the court."
"Naturally, I feel it. The pressure is on. Like any other player, I experience tension. I'm nervous. I experience elation. There are many distinct emotions that are experienced.
"Experience from other situations and this one in particular is helpful. I feel a lot more confident knowing that I have never lost in an Australian Open final.
Of course, the work on the court still needs to be done.
