The match took five hours and 53 minutes and was the longest Grand Slam final since the Open Era started in 1968 and the longest Australian Open match in history.

2 For The Money And Show

    We’re sorry to see the Australian Open coming to a close because there has been some excellent tennis played, but you can’t beat another final between these 2. They’re starting to get some real history with each other too, but Novak Djokovic had had the better hand lately.

There Goes That Man Again

    This outstanding performance kept me up past 4 a.m. I just couldn’t stop watching the dominance of Novak Djokovic.
    For the 2nd time in a Major semifinal, Djokovic beat Roger Federer. He beat him up, too. Djokovic recorded a straight-sets victory over Federer earlier this morning at the Australian Open. He will play the Andy Murray-David Ferrer winner for the title Sunday.
