 How 'scary' Djokovic destroyed Nadal

New Delhi, January 28: The tennis star Novak Djokovic on Sunday recognized the stellar performance he needed to put in to defeat Spaniard Rafael Nadal for his record seventh Australian Open title. Despite having won 14 other Grand Slam titles, including three consecutive trophies by defeating Nadal in the final of the 2011 Wimbledon, the 2011 US Open and the nearly six-hour at the Australian Open championship 2012 match, Djokovic singled out his most recent title, reports media.


"It ranks right at the top. Under the circumstances, playing against Nadal, such an important match, it s amazing," Djokovic said after prevailing over the former world No. 1 in just two hours and four minutes.

Djokovic was untouchable throughout his 53rd match against Nadal, as he faced a lone break point, winning 40 out of 50 first serve points he put in play.

"I wasn t playing well, I wasn t feeling good on the court, I was questioning everything," he said. "I was doubting whether I would be able to play everyone on this level, because I didn t know to what extent the operation of my elbow would affect my game," Djokovic added.
