Men's SinglesHe stretched, he bent, he leaned. He lunged and lobbed. He flexed and flicked. He matched a scintillating defense with powerful and crisp groundstrokes. He served to his spots almost flawlessly. His timing and rhythm was as sharp as ever. He was cool and confident - and became even more so as the night wore on. Throughout the tournament, he rode the positive energy from his team Serbia's recent Davis Cup victory. Tonight was no exception.
Novak "Mr. Elastic" Djokovic (Serbia) defeated Andy Murray (Britain) in three convincing sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, before a capacity crowd in the cool evening at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. It was Djokovic's 2nd Australian Open Championship title and his 2nd Grand Slam. Tonight, Serbia not only sported the Davis Cup but also showcased their top player's tennis prowess and his silver Aussie Open championship trophy.
Congrats, Novak!

America's greatest doubles team triumphed again!
Well done to all the players, coaches, officials, ball-boys and ball-girls, fans and sponsors at this year's fabulous Australian Open.
See you next year!
