World Number 1 Novak Djokovic won the 2023 Australian final dropping just one set in the whole tournament and in this edition of the tournament, Djokovic has already dropped two sets in as many rounds. Alexie Popyrin tried hard to create a massive upset – especially in the third set which stretched the defending champion to limits. But the Serbian star came back strong to answer Popyrin – mostly on every point. In the exciting third set, Djokovic struggled to hold on to his serves and needed aces to win the game. Popyrin, who was feeling discomfort on the court with a calf issue, rode on to the home crowd support to make the match interesting. In the end, Djokovic wins the match 6-3, 4-6, 7-6. 6-3.
