The Norman Brookes Trophy will be up for grabs in the 2023 Australian Open final on Sunday between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas. One more victory would put Djokovic on par with Rafael Nadal’s Open Era record of 22 Grand Slam triumphs. The Serb has recently displayed top-tier tennis, winning titles at the Tel Aviv Open, Astana Open, ATP Finals in Turin, and Adelaide International 1 while accruing 30 victories from 32 matches. He successfully defeated Roberto Carballes Baena to kick off his return to the Australian Open, and he went on to show off his unstoppable form in the following rounds. In order to reach his 10th Major final in Melbourne, the former World No. 1 beat players like Enzo Couacaud, Grigor Dimitrov, Alex De Minaur, Andre Rublev, and Tommy Paul. In the final four games, he defeated the American Paul in three straight sets (7-5, 6-1, 6-2).
On the other hand, Stefanos Tsitsipas has also had a strong start to the new 2023 season. The Greek entered the Australian Open after reaching the semifinals of the Rolex Paris Masters and the 2023 United Cup. He has gone unbeaten in his last 11 games. In the first three rounds, he easily defeated his opponents in straight sets. Later, he showed his toughness by defeating players like Jannik Sinner, Jiri Lehecka, and Karen Khachanov to advance to the championship match. To advance to his first-ever final in Melbourne, the third seed defeated the Russian Khachanov in four sets, winning 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-7 (6), and 6-3.
