The 2023 Australian Open final is finally here as No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas looks to take on No. 4 Novak Djokovic. This is the first-ever time that Tsitsipas has made it to the finals in Melbourne, looking for his first career grand slam title. Standing in his way is none other than Djokovic, who has won the Aussie Open a record nine times.

Tsitsipas vs Djokovic Prediction & Pick

As great as Tsitsipas' run has been, it's coming to an end on Sunday. Djokovic's name is synonymous with the Australian Open for a reason. He's taken home the gold in each of his previous three trips to Melbourne, only losing two sets in the trio of finals appearances. It also helps that he has an 87.2% winning percentage on hard courts.

If that's not impressive enough, Djokovic has also won nine straight matchups against Tsitsipas, who hasn't defeated the Serbian since October 2019. At 24 years old, Tsitsipas still has plenty of time in his career to win a grand slam title. For now, the Australian Open belongs to the "Joker."

Winner: Novak Djokovic

Tsitsipas vs Djokovic Best Bet

There's really no point in backing Djokovic outright on the moneyline at -550 odds. Instead, I'll take him winning the 2023 Australian Open in three sets.

For starters, Djokovic hasn't lost a set since his second-round matchup with Enzo Couacaud. Secondly, he also picked up three of his last four victories over Tsitsipas without losing a set.

Considering how Djokovic has also won two of his last three Aussie Open titles in three sets, I'm confident that he can do it again.

Bet: Novak Djokovic to Win in Three Sets (+130)
