Djokovic savours grand slam triumph

NEWLY-CROWNED Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic has vowed not to be a one grand slam wonder after ending the recent dominance of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in emphatic fashion at Melbourne Park.

Djokovic became the first Serbian to win a grand slam singles title after beating French surprise package Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7/2) in the men’s final yesterday.

Djokovic became the first player other than Federer or Nadal to win a grand slam title since Marat Safin at the 2005 Australian Open, but the talented 20-year-old, who last year rose from 16th to third in the world rankings, is far from satisfied.
