 Novak Djokovic vs. Safanoz Sicypas is the final of the Men's Australian Open for 2023. And both players have an easy rose to get to the final. Sipinoz Sicypas started the tournament off as a number 3 seed and took on Hallis in the first round and would get through in 3 tight sets. 6-3, 6-4, 7-6. In the second round he took on the wildcard Hitchikata. And this was Steph's most impressive performance dominating in straight sets. 6-3, 6-love, 6-2. In the third round he'd take on Grickspor who'd won a tournament earlier in the season but it didn't bother Steph who got through in straight sets. 6-2, 7-6, 6-3. In the fourth round he'd take on the number 15 seed Sinner. And this turned into a classic. 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3. In the quarter-finals Sicypas would take on the unseated Lehechka who had had a very good run to get to his first quarter-final. But experience came through with Steph winning in straight sets. 6-3, 7-6, 6-4 to get to another Australian Open semi-final. In the semi-finals Sicypas would take on the number 18 seed Hashinov who had just beaten quarter in the previous round. Sicypas would get through in 4, 7-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 to advance to his first Australian Open final. Djokovic started the tournament off as the number 4 seed and would take on Bayanna in the first round. And this posed no problem getting through in straight sets. 6-3, 6-4, 6-love. In the second round he'd take on the qualifier Cuoco getting through in 4, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-love. In the third round he'd take on the 27 seed Dimitrov. And these two had played many times before and Djokovic had Dimitrov's number again getting through in straights 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the fourth round he'd take on the 22nd seed Dimitrov the hometown favourite. And this was by far Djokovic's best performance of the tournament demolishing Dimitrov in two hours 6-2, 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals Djokovic would play number five seed Rublev. Djokovic came out of the blocks hot and dominated Rublev in straight sets 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. In the semi-final Djokovic would take on the unseeded Paul who'd made his way through the draw in very nice fashion. But unfortunately for Paul Djokovic was too much not like getting to another final 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 making it 10 at the Australian Open. These guys have played 12 times before with Djokovic leading the head to head 10-2 and Djokovic has won their last nine matches in a row. If Djokovic is going to win this one he needs to be aggressive and try not to get moved around that much. Against Paul he looked a little tired and he did look a little sore, that leg coming back a little bit sore I guess but he didn't look tired against Dimitrov and against Rublev. So he needs to make sure he's aggressive as he was against those guys. Sidzibas is going to win. He needs to have a lot of variety. He's been so great over the last six months with the variety, coming to the net, playing Bladeslam rallies, all the fun stuff that we used to seeing him do and serving big as well. So it'll be interesting to see how Sidzibas plays like that. This is a very fun final and I think it's a final that we all want to see Sidzibas in his second Grand Slam final. Djokovic going for number 10. I'm going to go with Djokovic in four sets. I think maybe Sidzibas wins the first or second set but I think Djokovic's experience and also he wants this more than anything after what happened last year. I think Djokovic will be the champion in four but let me know down in the comments below who you think is going to win the Australian Open.
