Incredible finish from Djokovic to finish an absolute masterpiece of a performance from the now NINE-time Australian Open champion.
It finishes 7-5 6-2 6-2 to the world No.1 and he is the undisputed king of Melbourne Park now and really has a stranglehold on the men s circuit as a whole.
It s a disappointing result for Daniil Medvedev after he came into the match in absolutely scintillating form. A flawless display in the final. He got better and better as the tournament rolled on, Woodbridge says on Nine s coverage. He was fabulous. He started well, he took a few punches from the challenger but in the end he ran away with it, Courier adds.
