New to Kayo?Djokovic’s most recent loss on Australian soil remains in the fourth round of the 2018 Australian Open when he was stunned by Korean Hyeon Chung - a loss which he partially credited to an elbow injury, which then required surgery.
After an ace, a lengthy rally saw Djokovic forced to send a cross-court shot just wide - it was challenged unsuccessfully - giving Korda his first match point. The Serb saved it with a dominant rally, keeping Korda on the back foot before a smash to seal the point. Korda was the first to face difficulty in the deciding set, needing to save two break points at 2-1, but the 22-year-old was able to do just that. He then stormed back from 0-30 down at 4-3 to again level the set.
Taylor Fritz secured the crown for the Americans after fighting past Matteo Berrettini 7-6 7-6 at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena.
