In his own words, this was Novak's most special title of his career. Here's why...
As a student of the game, this year's Australian Open was quite emotional and super entertaining.
The most compelling storyline was Novak Djokovic's path to the Final. Injury, intrigue, and recent history made his path through the draw a phenomenal drama. Now the victor of 10 (!) Australian Opens and TWENTY-TWO GRAND SLAMS, Novak occupies the loftiest heights of the game, alongside his Spanish rival who is also suffering from injury, Rafael Nadal.
I wanted to let my raw emotions run a little bit as I recap and revel in this victory, because simply put: the man deserves to be honored for his strength of character.
From historic statistics to luck of the draw, here is my way of continuing the celebration of tennis' greatest champion.
