Novak Djokovic defeated world number 33 Sebastian Korda 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. The Serb notably saved a match point.
Well, that’s what you might call a winning comeback. With Novak Djokovic, returns are often winners from his baseline. But this is his return to Australia. After receiving public favor during his first days in the territory, a year after the episode of the vaccine, the Serb distinguished himself by winning the Adelaide tournament after a very good final against Sebastian Korda (6- 7, 7-6, 6-4).
Novak Djokovic is not weakening. He is still hungry. After a hotly contested first set, finally won by the American in the tie-break, the Serb made his mind speak, in particular by saving a match point in the second set. New proof that the new generation is struggling to conclude against the now two sacred monsters (Djokovic and Nadal). And against the Serb, it’s fatal. “Nole” wins the 92nd title of his career and wonderfully concludes his preparation phase before the Australian Open where he is obviously the big favorite… For a 10th success in the tournament.
