World's media salutes Novak after historic Australian Open win!

2012-02-01T17:10:00.001+01:00

   Here is the world's media reaction to Nole's super-human effort over Nadal in one of the most greatest Gran Slam finals ever!
" Djokovic pulls off miracle to win marathon battle "
   The manner in which Djokovic withstood Nadal's passionate rally in the fourth set and came from 2-4 down in the fifth set, was incredible. Somehow, on jelly legs, Djokovic out-fought the game's greatest fighter to the final point. We started this tournament with talk of a Big Four or, more reasonably given Andy Murray remains a grand slam maiden, a Big Three. Surely, eventually, we finished with a Big One.
Richard Hinds, Sydney Morning Herald
" Victory cry: Djokovic wins Championship in epic thriller "
   " The Serb relentlessly pounded Nadal's second serve to expose gaping holes in the Spaniard's defence to land his fifth major, joining Andre Agassi. Roger Federer and Mats Wilander as the only men to win three or more Australian crowns since 1968. In much the same way Nadal relishes his stroke-for-stroke match-up with Federer,Djokovic exerts a similar thrall over Nadal."
Leo Schlink, Australian Herald Sun
" Djokovic Superhuman "
He is the king of the circuit, the number 1 in the world, the true ruler of tennis right now.
David Menayo, Spain's Marca
" Djokovic tops Nadal in five sets "
   It was not just the ticking clock or the grand occasion that made it special. It was the quality, both defensive and offensive, under duress, and though the strain was evident on their faces, above all Djokovic’s with his slightly vacant gaze, it was not nearly so evident once the ball was in play.
Christopher Clarey, New York Times
" Wizard of OZ "
   Novak Djokovic ripped off his shirt and let out a primal scream, flexing his torso the way a prize fighter would after a desperate, last-round knockout.
This was the final act in Djokovic's victory over Rafael Nadal – a sweat-drenched, sneaker-squeaking 5 hour, 53-minute endurance contest that ended at 1:37 am Monday morning in Melbourne.
John Pye, Huffington Post

   John Lloyd, former British number one & BBC Sport commentator: “ Incredible. The greatness we talked about last year but this match was the most important of Djokovic's career. To beat who he beat after playing Murray in the semi-final and being a break down in the fifth. The amount of respect he will have gained from the other players having gone toe-to-toe with Nadal with that level of exhaustion. Definitely the greatest match he's ever played. ”
   Frew McMillan, a former professional male tennis player who was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, in 1992, now a tennis commentator for Eurosport, said : " He's got the heart of a superman and the mind of a genius. "
   Jon Wertheim, SI.com: Novak Djokovic defends as champion, but that's the least of it. Winning two titanic battles in succession -- one over Andy Murray, and the absolute epic against Rafael Nadal -- completely re-frames his entire career. We keep talking about this golden age in men's tennis. What do we say about the man who has won four of the last five major events in this unparalleled era?

Djokovic optimistic about 2012 season!

2012-01-14T16:57:00.001+01:00

Novak optimistic about 2012 season, Olympics among priorities.

   An exhibition match as part of the Kids Tennis Day ahead of the Australian Open has taken place at Melbourne Park today.

   Thousands of youngsters brimming with excitement queued up early this morning to take part in a unique experience, to meet their favourite tennis players and have a hit on the famous Melbourne Park courts.
   Nole, Rafa, Sam Stosur, Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova…entertained the crowd, the kids were having a great time, it was a great way to promote the sport.

   The world no.1 shared his goals at the press conference after the exhibition

   Novak Djokovic native is keen to repeat triumphant year and expects another top tennis season.

“ I think everything is possible. Obviously 2011 has been the best year so far in my career. It's going to be very difficult to repeat what I have done. But, look, I've done it once. Why not twice? Why not staying optimistic and positive about the whole season? “

“ Every single tournament I won last year gave me a lot of confidence. Like everything in life, in tennis as well, you need to have a high confidence level. When you're playing on it, it feels like nothing can stop you. ”

   Mubadala World Tennis Championship tournament in UAE was a good warm-up for the new season and it showed that Nole is fresh and hungry to win as he has been throughout the 2011.

   In the off season, the Serbian star had two weeks of the real rest, without racquet, without any physical involvement.

“ It came at the right time really. I needed it more than anything at that stage. I had time to reflect on what I have achieved in 2011. ”

“ In two or three weeks' time that you have before the new season starts, you always try to specifically work on some shots, try to improve them by a percentage that is possible in that time. I don't think that in general my game should be changed or that I should take any major changes in it. I just think that I have to keep that consistency of performing well, work on some things, maybe to get more often to the net, work on my serve a little bit more. ”

   The Olympics are one of his biggest priorities this year. Novak could play doubles as well.

“ I had that privilege and honor to represent my country in 2008 Beijing Olympics. It was a remarkable experience, like no other. I'm very happy to be representing my country again and going back to the Wimbledon grass where I played grass in 2011, achieved one of my biggest goals. So I hope that I can play well, perform well and bring a medal to Serbia. ”
