Australian Open 2023 Winners: Complete list of men's and women's singles and doubles champions
The Australian Open had its fair share of thrills, spills and upsets over the course of an eventful fortnight at Melbourne Park.
The first Grand Slam of the year saw the top two seeds in both men's singles and women's singles fail to reach the last eight. While men's top seed and defending champion Rafael Nadal fell in the second round, women's top seed Iga Swiatek lost in the fourth.
17-year-old Czech Linda Fruhvirtova made a dream run to the last 16, as did China's Zhu Lin, who toppled two seeds along the way. Another Czech youngster, Jiri Lehecka, slayed three seeds to reach the last eight before losing to eventual finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas.
American tennis saw a resurgence of sorts in both singles events. While Tommy Paul reached a maiden Grand Slam semifinal (lost to Novak Djokovic), women's third seed Jessica Pegula reached the last eight in singles and the semifinals in women's doubles.
The winner's podium saw the return of a few familiar faces and the emergence of a few new ones.
On that note, here's a look at the winners across all categories at the 2023 Australian Open:
Australian Open 2023 Men's Singles winner - Novak Djokovic
Some things are inevitable, like Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. Returning to the event after a year's absence due to deportation following his medical exemption controversy, the Serb was a man on a mission.
Playing through the pain barrier and braving an injury-plagued build-up, Djokovic dropped only one set all fortnight. In a rematch of his 2021 Roland Garros final against Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Serb triumphed in straight sets to register his 10th Australian Open and record-equalling 22nd Grand Slam title.
The fifth-ranked Serb will return to No. 1 on Monday, recording the biggest jump to the top of the rankings in ATP history.
Australian Open 2023 Women's Singles winner - Aryna Sabalenka
Aryna Sabalenka was the last woman standing in the women's draw, beating reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in one of the best ladies' singles Grand Slam finals in recent memory.
Sabalenka dropped her only set of the fortnight in the final, but recovered to win the next two for the loss of seven games to make her Grand Slam breakthrough. She is the 59th different player to win a women's singles Grand Slam in the Open Era and the 29th different one to do so at Melbourne Park.
Sabalenka will return to her career-best ranking of World No. 2 on Monday, while Rybakina will make her top-10 debut (at No. 10).
Australian Open 2023 Men's Doubles winner - Rinky Hijikata and Jason Kubler
Wildcards Rinky Hijikata of Japan and Australia's Jason Kubler scripted a fairytale triumph, beating the unseeded pair of Hugo Nys and Jan Zielinski in straight sets in the final.
Playing for the first time together, the Japanese-Australian duo forged a dream week to become only the second wildcard pair to win the Australian Open men's doubles title.
The first instance happened last year, when the all-Australian pair of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis went all the way.
Australian Open 2023 Women's Doubles winner - Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova
Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova continued their golden run in Grand Slams, beating Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara in straight sets to win their seventh Grand Slam women's doubles titles.
The all-Czech pair are now three-fourths of the way to a non-calendar year Grand Slam; they have won their last 24 matches at the Majors. This was their seventh Grand Slam title.
Krejcikova and Siniakova last lost in doubles in the US Open first round back in 2021.
Australian Open 2023 Mixed Doubles winner - Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos
Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos won the mixed doubles title at the Australian Open, denying the retiring Sania Mirza a triumphant Grand Slam swansong. Mirza and her Indian partner Rohan Bopanna lost in straight sets to the all-Brazilian combine.
Stefani and Matos are the first Brazilian pair to reach the mixed doubles final at the Australian Open.
Australian Open 2023 Boy's Singles winner - Alexander Blockx
Alexander Blockx outlasted American left-hander Learner Tien in a third set supertiebreak to become the first Belgian to win the Australian Open boys' singles title.
It was Blockx's fourth appearance at a junior Grand Slam and first at Melbourne Park. The 17-year-old Belgian converted his third championship point to reign supreme.
Jacques Brichant (Roland Garros 1947) and Kimmer Coppejans (Roland Garros 2012) are the only other Belgian players to win a boys' singles Grand Slam.
Australian Open 2023 Girls' Singles winner - Alina Korneeva
Alina Korneeva recovered from a set down to beat Mirra Andreeva in a riveting girls' singles final at the Australian Open.
The 15-year-old, making her Grand Slam debut, capped off a dream week by going all the way.
Korneeva battled injuries, emotions and nerves to reign supreme in the biggest match of her fledgeling career.
Australian Open 2023 Men's Wheelchair Singles winner - Alfie Hewett
Top seed Alfie Hewett of Great Britain beat Tokito Oda in straight sets to take home the men's wheelchair singles title. Hewett also won the wheelchair doubles title, his fourth straight at the event.
