His achievements in Melbourne speak for themselves \u2013 he is the most successful player in history with 10 titles from as many finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"K4pxxVUEfD\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/nepromisljen-potez-novaka-djokovica-centimetri-delili-od-diskvalifikacije-sa-australijan-opena-video\/\">NEPROMI\u0160LJEN POTEZ NOVAKA: \u0110okovi\u0107a centimetri delili od diskvalifikacije sa Australijan opena!

He capitalized on that momentum with a maximum triumph over Juncheng Sheng, equaling his best Australian Open result, which he also achieved in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their head-to-head meetings, the score is even. Djokovic won their first encounter on his way to the Astana title in 2022 with a dominant 6:3, 6:1. At Indian Wells last year, the Dutch player took revenge \u2013 6:2, 3:6, 6:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Van de Zandschulp currently ranks 75th on the ATP list. He achieved his career-high ranking in August 2022 when he reached No. 22. His deepest run at a Grand Slam was at the 2021 US Open, where Daniil Medvedev stopped him in the quarterfinals. Three years later, he caused a shocking upset by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in New York in straight sets \u2013 6:1, 7:5, 6:4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/mark-brnovic-buried-in-phoenix-family-and-friends-pay-their-final-respects-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>MARK BRNOVI\u0106 BURIED IN PHOENIX: Family and Friends Pay Their Final Respects!
