Djokovic wins his 9th Australian Open title at Rod Laver Arena

World number one male tennis player Novak Djokovic captures his ninth Australian Open title (18th career grand slam title overall) after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the men's singles championship match on Sunday, February 21 at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia.

Djokovic entered the match as the defending champion, while Medvedev made his maiden grand slam final appearance. In their previous meeting at the 2020 ATP World Tour Finals, Medvedev defeated Djokovic in round robin by three straight sets. Entering the match, the 33 year-old Serbian has four wins and three losses match record against the 25 year-old Russian.

Djokovic won the match by three straight sets (7-5, 6-2, 6-2) against Medvedev to win his 9th Australian Open title.

With the win, Djokovic became the 2nd player to win most titles in a grand slam, the other being Rafael Nadal with 11 Roland Garros (French Open) titles. Djokovic is only two grand slam wins behind Nadal and Roger Federer who had won 20 career grand slam titles.
