This was Djokovic’s third consecutive Grand Slam Title win as Nadal again failed to beat the Serbian on the hard court, keeping a rather unenvious streak going since they met in 2013.
This was Djoker’s seventh Melbourne title. And it helped him overtake Roy Emerson and Roger Federer, who have won the title 6 times each.
