Roger Federer has knee surgery in Australia

Novak Djokovic remained practically unblemished, only dropping three sets all tournament, on his road to the 2016 Australian Open title.

Numerous people have also commented on the video to show their support for the youngster. And daddy did it Stefan’. Venus Williams also saw her run end with a defeat in the opening round.

Djokovic has 11 Grand Slam titles to Murray s two, 61 career trophies to 35 and $97 million in prize money compared to $44 million for the Scot.

While Djokovic was still celebrating his 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory on Sunday night, equaling Roy Emerson’s record of six Australian titles, Murray was rushing for the airport to catch a flight back to Britain to reunite with his pregnant wife.

“I try to still follow the same kind of lifestyle and routine, things that I ve been doing all these years that have been helping me to get to where I am”.

It moved the 28-year-old to 11 Grand Slam titles, joint fifth on the all-time list and, at his current rate, closing fast on Roger Federer’s record of 17. Not only is he expecting his first child due with wife Kim any day now, but his father in law, Nigel Sears collapsed on the court last Saturday.

After getting on his hands and knees and kissing the court at Rod Laver Arena, and going to the stands to hug Boris Becker, his coach since 2014, Djokovic paid tribute to Murray in his post-match speech.

Djokovic congratulates Murray at the Australian Open Final trophy ceremony.

“No doubt that I’m playing the best tennis of my life in the last 15 months”.

And as he enthusiastically cheered on for his brother Jamie, who went on to win his first men’s doubles title with partner Bruno Soares, past midnight on Sunday; Murray once again aligned his priorities with his family first instead of focusing on his final as was otherwise expected of him.

“You?ve been a legend for the last two weeks”.

A little more than a half-hour later, Murray was sitting in a mandatory news conference, saying he was proud of his achievements here but was ready to get home.

“You would be disrespectful to everything he has achieved in his career on clay courts if we didn’t see him this year – and each year – as the ultimate challenge on clay courts”, the Serbian Djokovic said of Nadal to AAP. “I’ll be on the next flight home”.

Murray became only the second man to lose five finals at one major – Ivan Lendl lost five and won three U.S. Open finals in the 1980s.
