We have reached the closing stages of the Australian Open, with the 14th and final day of the Grand Slam taking place on Sunday, January 29. Two finals will take place, namely the women's doubles final and the men's singles final.
Top seeds and reigning champions Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova have been the best women's doubles pairing in the world for a while and the Czech pair have produced some brilliant performances so far at Melbourne Park. They booked their place in the Australian Open final for the third straight year by beating the Ukrainian-Romanian pair of Marta Kostyuk and Irina-Camelia Begu.
Standing between the Czechs and the Australian Open trophy is the Japanese duo of Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara. The pair have dropped just one set so far in the tournament and booked their spot in the final by ousting second seeds Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula in the semifinals.
The women's doubles final will be followed by the highly-awaited men's singles final between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Both players have been in terrific form this month and are yet to lose a match in 2023.
Djokovic booked his place in the final by beating Tommy Paul 7-5, 6-1, 6-2, while Tsitsipas beat Karen Khachanov 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3 to reach his second Major final.
A lot is at stake for both players on Sunday as the winner will dethrone Carlos Alcaraz as the World No. 1 in the ATP rankings. If Djokovic wins, he will also secure his 10th Australian Open crown and equal Rafael Nadal's tally of 22 Grand Slam titles.
