After missing last year’s tournament when he was deported for being unvaccinated for Covid-19, the Serbian star beat Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in straight sets to win his 22nd Grand Slam title. A year after Australia deported him over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19, Novak Djokovic reclaimed the Grand Slam title he has won more than any other, capturing a record 10th championship at the Australian Open by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) on Sunday.

After one last forehand off Tsitsipas’s racket floated long to end a match that felt lopsided despite the two tiebreakers, Djokovic turned and stared at his family and coaches sitting in his box. He pointed to his head, his heart and then just below his waistband, letting the world in on his team’s code language and telling it that winning on Sunday took everything he had. 

He wore a jacket emblazoned with a bright number 22 just under the right side of his collarbone and called this triumph “the biggest victory in my life.”
