Novak Djokovic confirmed his leadership at the top of world tennis and the ATP to
conquer its fourth Australia open in her second final to Andy Murray: 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3 and 6-2 in three hours and 40 minutes. At
the same time, it's the third consecutive title (2011, 12, 13) that the current number one in the world stands at
Rod Laver Arena: this is an unprecedented event at the Australian Open in the
Open Era. Before the Open Era, which began in 1968, Roy Emerson, record holder
of titles in Australia, won the tournament five consecutive times: between 1963
and 1967. It's the sixth Grand Slam title for Djokovic, who has already won in Wimbledon and New York, and which
only lacks leave Roland Garros champion.
The physical superiority of Djokovic sentenced a monotonous final lengthy exchanges (with rallies of 35 hits) in which there was a single 'break' or break of service until the eighth game of the third set. At that point (after the ' tiebreaker' of the second set), Murray had already been attended to by the 'trainer' of blisters on the foot: the four hour battle that the Scot had maintained with Federer in the tough semifinal on Friday, to the limit of five sets, appeared as an extra tax to raise by demanding cash from Djokovic. The pace of the match was hard physically, but with little creativity and many precautions: the protagonists are well aware and gave the impression of having analyzed, controlled and 'scouted as' all variants.
