Can anyone stop Novak?
Posted by: | CommentsIs there any stopping Novak Djokovic? You would think a gruelling semi-final victory over Andy Murray would have been enough to end his chances of winning the final of the Australian Open against Rafael Nadal, but seemingly not. Those looking at casinos Android even note note he battled on to emerge victorious from the longest final ever.
Some have described him as super-human, others have just looked on in astonishment, but what is true is that Novak Djokovic has come into 2012 in just the sort of form that allowed him to dominate tennis the previous year. He may even be better, unbelievably.
And the world number one has described his victory over Rafael Nadal as the greatest moment of his career.
“It was the longest Grand Slam final of all time. Just hearing that fact makes me cry,” said the emotional Serbian. “Wimbledon is right up there because it is the tournament I always wanted to win. But this comes out on top.”
Djokovic’s victory means that he joins Roger Federer, Andre Agassi and Mats Wilander in being the only Open-era players to complete a hat-trick of successes.
He added: “I am very proud to be a part of history, to be among the elite group of players who have won this trophy several times.
“I had lots of chances to finish the match in the fourth, but he came up with some incredible serves and incredible points.
“So he deserved to prolong the match in the fifth set, and then really both of us could have won the match. Even when I was 4-2 down I still pushed myself up to the limit.
“I’m sure any other tennis player would say the same. We live for these matches.
“We’re trying to dedicate all our life to this sport, to come to the situation where we play a six-hour match for a Grand Slam title.”
It was quite some year for Djokovic in 2011, as he won the Australian Open, the US Open and Wimbledon. In 2012 he will be hoping to do all that again, but to also add the French Open to it.
That will, of course, be a tough ask, with Nadal dominating on the clay surfaces of Roland Garros, but with the Serb in such fine form, can anyone stop him?
Just a few years ago, people were putting Djokovic in the same category as Andy Murray, as being unlucky to be playing in the same era as Nadal and Federer. They said that in any other era Djokovic could have been world number one, but not this one.
They were proven wrong, as last year he shot to the top of the rankings. Playing the way he is now, it looks as though it will be a long time before anyone knocks him off his perch.
