Novak Djokovic has won the Australian Open Men's Singles, beating Andy Murray 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 to earn the much-coveted trophy. Murray, Djokovic's long time contemporary and friend, was serene despite his loss and has earned the unwanted record of having yet to win a set going zero-for-three in every Grand Slam finals that he had fought in.To go with his Grand Slam trophy, Djokovic was awarded a check for $2.2 million Australian. He says that he now feels like a more experienced and better player, having won his second Grand Slam title since his first Australian Open championship in 2008.
Murray says this year was a lot better than the previous when he was beaten in straight sets by Roger Federer. He was quoted as saying that "Novak played unbelievably well. And, yeah, it's tough, but got to deal with it." The champion was sympathetic with his opponent, saying that he himself took it as a learning process, and that it was neither easy for him as well.
