Novak Djokovic beat Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 to win his ninth Australian Open championship and 18th Grand Slam title. The No 1-seeded Djokovic has now won the trophy three years in a row at Melbourne Park. The No 4-seeded Medvedev was trying to collect his first Grand Slam title Sunday. But Djokovic used superb serving and his usual baseline excellence to end the Russian’s 20-match winning streak. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the win:
Not the match I wanted. All respect to @DjokerNole. Proud of my Aussie summer and can’t wait to be back next year🙏 #workinprogress @AustralianOpen #AustralianOpen2021 pic.twitter.com/lSaM7na2cq
