Djokovic prevails over Murray


Novak Djokovic went into the final of this year's Australian Open with one objective... to win it. After having a bit of a battle for the first set with Djokovic taking it 6-4, Murray began to slack off and Djokovic just kept his foot on the gas. Stretching and running down every ball possible, all that hard work payed off and Djokovic raised his arms up in victory when Murray hit a relatively easy ball into the net. Crushed hopes for Britain but notes of celebration for Serbia. After this match was over, Novak playfully took off practically everything except his pants and threw it out to the crowd. Those lucky swines!
At the trophy ceremony he gave a shout out to the flood victims in Brisbane and dedicated this title to his beloved Serbia. With Federer being knocked out by Djokovic in convincing fashion and Nadal feeling not so great, this year might be the start of the Djokovic era. But we'll see... after all, the year isn't over yet and Nadal and Federer are some of the greatest fighters on tour.

P.S. former world number one and Serbia's sweetheart Ana Ivanovic was spotted in Djokovic's box during the final.
