Novak Djokovic claimed his eighth Australian Open crown digging deeper than ever before with a 6-4, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Dominic Thiem coming from two sets to one down to deny the Austrian.
Djokovic was congratulated by tour players, former players, fellow sportsmen and legends of the sport on Twitter; on what is a record-extending achievement.
Among them was Rod Laver, legendary former three time Australian Open winner who praised his opponent Thiem; but said that Djokovic did what champions do and that is find a way to win.
As well the likes of Fernando Verdasco and former Australian Open finalist, Kevin Anderson congratulated him; as did Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
