The 2022 Australian Open in images

The favourite to win the opening Grand Slam of the year after Novak Djokovic’s absence was confirmed, Daniil Medvedev fulfilled expectations by reaching the final. Taken all the way by Felix Auger-Aliassime in one of the matches of the tournament – so far, in fact, that the Russian trailed by two sets at one stage and then had to save a match point – he swept past Stefanos Tsitsipas before playing his part in a final to remember against Rafael Nadal.
