The Serb was never in doubt right from the beginning of the tournament, being the favourite on pundit's lips and fans. The only issue many thought could have stopped his ambition was his hamstring problems, but since he overcame it in the round of 16, he was ruthless with his opponents to the final.
His victory against Tsitsipas was his 28th consecutive win at the Australian Open, 41st consecutive win in Australia, and 12th in 2023.
