Novak Djokovic beat Stefanos Tsitsipas to win his 10th Australian Open title and equal Rafael Nadal's 22 Grand Slam crowns on Sunday an achievement that he dubbed "the biggest victory in my life".
The Serbian will return to world #1, too, as he swept past the Greek third seed 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/5) on Rod Laver Arena.
After the victory, the 35-year-old climbed to the player's box to embrace his mother and brother and broke down in tears, collapsing to the ground sobbing.
His father, Srdjan, was missing from the audience after he was filmed earlier with a group of people with Russian flags — one with an image of Vladimir Putin — after Djokovic’s quarterfinal victory, sparking controversy.
