Audemars Piguet Ambassador Novak Djokovic became the first man in the
history of professional tennis to win three consecutive Australian Open titles
when he beat Andy Murray in the final in four physically demanding sets: 6-7
(2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2. Djokovic has won four of his six
major titles at Melbourne Park, where he is now unbeaten in 21 matches. Nine
other men had won back-to-back titles in Australia over 45 years, but none were
able to claim three in a row. With the world's best two defensive
players on opposite sides of the net, it took nearly three hours for either
player to break serve, and then only when Djokovic produced perhaps the best
point of the match to expose a rare soft spot in Murray's resolve.
The win
consolidated Djokovic’s position as the No. 1-ranked player in the world. Commenting on his win Novak
said: “I'm just trying to play every game with 100%
of devotion, love, passion but also fun. I always try to embrace every moment and enjoy it as much as possible”. A great sportsman of our time characterised by outstanding charisma,
mastery and artistry, Novak Djokovic’s extraordinary break-through performances
embody Audemars Piguet’s philosophy, “To break the rules, you must first master
them”.
