Australian Open: Novak Djokovic wins perhaps biggest title yet, and ... (Scroll.in)

With all that happened last year, an injury and an unexpected controversy off-court this term, Djokovic faced a stiff test of his famed mental strength.

You have to be really involved and you have to be dedicated to the game when you play against him. But for his 24-year-old opponent, who was competing in his second Grand Slam final, it was a lesson on what needs to be done to break the duck. He is a year younger than the Spaniard and has comparatively fewer injury concerns. For long, the 35-year-old has made clear his ambition to finish his career at the top of as many records as possible. Just like the return winner he clobbered home with an inside-in forehand shot in the second point of the third set tiebreak. “In dealing with an injury, things happening off the court, as well, that could easily have been a big disturbance to my focus, to my game. Djokovic’s forehands have become stronger over the years – from an average speed of 124 kmph in 2021 to 131 kmph this year. And he was the first to admit it. For a player who is considered one of the hardest to crack mentally, this was a new look, a fresh look. This year he was allowed back into the country, but sustained a hamstring injury during the tune-up event in Adelaide. “This has been one of the most challenging tournaments I’ve ever played in my life considering the circumstances. But during his time in Melbourne in the recent past, he has faced adversity both off and on the court.

Novak Djokovic clearly not done dominating tennis (The Hindu)

His strokes are pure as can be. His athleticism, too. His resolve? Off the charts.

“The way he's taking care of his body, the way he (approaches) everything, the food, it's amazing.” Djokovic won't be pinned down on what he has left. As it is, Djokovic won 10 of the last 19 majors — Nadal has a half-dozen of those — and no one collected more after turning 30. “But I still feel there is time ahead of me. Of course, 35 is not 25, even though I want to believe it is,” Djokovic said. I don't have intention to stop here,” the 35-year-old Djokovic said after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas, a man more than a decade his junior, by a 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) score in the final at Melbourne Park. He dealt with a sore left hamstring, and was fine, dropping one set along the way to the title. “I don't see this as a curse. I don't see this as something, like, annoying,” Tsitsipas continued. I know that when I'm feeling good physically, (and) mentally present, I have a chance to win any Slam against anybody.” He returned to Australia with some trepidation, unsure of what sort of reception awaited a year after he was deported for not being vaccinated against COVID-19, and was fine. “I still have lots of motivation. I really don't want to stop here.
