Novak Djokovic will be strong favourite to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open final on Sunday and equal Rafael Nadal's haul of 22 Grand Slam crowns.

This combination photo created on January 27, 2023 shows Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas reacting after a point at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 24, 2023, and Serbia's Novak Djokovic reacting at the same tournament on January 25, 2023. - Serbia's Novak Djokovic and Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas play in the men's singles final match at the Australian Open tennis tournament on January 29.

But Tsitsipas, who lost to Djokovic in his only previous major final, at the French Open in 2021, will himself top the rankings for the first time if he can pull off an upset. The fourth seed, who missed last year’s Australian Open when he was deported over his Covid vaccination stance, believes that his far superior experience at this stage of the tournament gives him a significant edge.
