Super Serb makes it three in a row

Novak Djokovic became the first man in the Open era to win three consecutive Australian Open titles when he beat Andy Murray 6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 in yesterday’s final.

Little wonder he loves Rod Laver Arena.

“It’s definitely my favourite Grand Slam,” he said. “It’s an incredible feeling winning this trophy once more. I love this court.” The Serb has won four of his six major titles at Melbourne Park, where he is now unbeaten in 21 matches.
