The Spaniard was imperious after a slow start in dismissing the 38-year-old, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 on Rod Laver Arena to claim a seventh Slam title and cement himself as undisputed world number one.

 Carlos Alcaraz won the third set of the Australian Open final 6-3 against Novak Djokovic.

The 22-year-old Spanish world number one is attempting to become the youngest man in history to win the career Grand Slam of all four majors, having previously won the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.

Djokovic won the first set 6-2, only for Alcaraz to roar back and level by the same scoreline.
