In a spectacular match at the Australian Open final, Tennis Titans Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal played each other for the 53rd time and the former created history in a nail-biting finish. Not only did Djokovic win three Grand Slams in a row, but the Serb outperformed Nadal to secure his 15th career Grand Slam. Djokovic now has seven Australian Open titles to his credit. A clinical Djokovic thrashed Nadal 6-3 6-2 6-3 at the Melbourne Park in the final, leaving spectators on the court and around the world bowing down in respect.
The current World No. 1 became the first man to win the Australian Open main prize seven times — going past Roger Federer and Roy Emerson with six each — as he shocked the world with an achievement many did not see coming. The tremendous feat sent his fans going berserk online and kick-started an exuberant celebration across social media sites praising and lauding his ace performance. Many were also shocked how he emerged as the first player to beat Nadal in straight sets in Grand Slam final.
History Maker.
Serbian pride 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸♥️♥️♥️

Talk about focus. When he had elbow surgery in 2017, when he said he’d lost his spark, when he ripped up his coaching team… Novak Djokovic promised he would “come back stronger than ever.” He wasn’t lying. 3 grand slams in a row, 15 in total. Incredible. #AusOpen #AusOpenFinal pic.twitter.com/WzR2b4yRfB

Amazing performance from Djokovic to win his 7th @AustralianOpen & 15th Grand Slam title, surpassing the great Pete Sampras & breathing down the necks of both Nadal & Federer’s GS records. I have never seen such a demolition job delivered to Nadal in a GS final #AusOpen
— Carlo Flammia (@carloflammia) January 27, 2019
What a Tournament Rafael Nadal played.. made it to the Aus Open Final without dropping a single set!.. that was until he met the GOAT Novak Djokovic who ironically didn’t drop a set in the #AusOpen Final.. I’m speechless.. Novak Djokovic 😃👌 @DjokerNole CONGRATULATIONS 😛🏆 💯🇷🇸

Some twelve months ago, Novak #Djokovic was having surgery on his elbow, but look at him now…
Reigning Wimbledon, US Open, and now, #AusOpen champion.

We have to start considering Novak Djokovic as the GOAT men’s tennis player. I know it’s tough because Roger is the most talented player ever, and has the most GS, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone who is as good as this guy. He’s just the perfect player. #AusOpen #Nole

While lifting the trophy, Djokovic said, “I had a surgery exactly 12 months ago. To be standing here, and lifting this title, this is truly amazing. I am speechless.”
