2023 Australian Open – Men's singles

Main article: 2023 Australian Open

Novak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2023 Australian Open. It was his record-extending 10th Australian Open title and 22nd major title overall, tying Rafael Nadal for the all-time record of most Grand Slam men's singles titles won.[1] He also became the second man to win double-digit titles at a single major, after Nadal at the French Open.[2] Djokovic lost just one set en route to the title (in the second round to Enzo Couacaud), and extended his match winning-streak at the Australian Open to an Open Era record 28 matches.

Nadal was the defending champion,[3] but lost in the second round to Mackenzie McDonald.[4] This marked the two-time champion's final Australian Open appearance.

Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, Tsitsipas and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking at the beginning of the tournament. By winning the tournament, Djokovic claimed the top spot. Alcaraz, the incumbent world No. 1, withdrew from the tournament due to a right leg injury.[5][6]

As it was in the previous major held a few months earlier, neither of the top two seeds advanced to the quarterfinals, with Nadal and Ruud both losing in the second round; this marked the first men's singles major since the 2002 Australian Open where the top two seeds lost prior to the third round.[7][8] Tsitsipas became the youngest finalist since Djokovic in 2011.[9] Tommy Paul became the first American man to reach the semifinals since Andy Roddick in 2009.[10]

With his win over Thanasi Kokkinakis in the longest match of his career, Andy Murray won a match from two sets down for a record eleventh time.[11]
