- 4 years ago
Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic posed with the famous trophy in Melbourne on Monday, as he apologised for touching the foot of the chair umpire during the heated second set of his 17th Grand Slam win on Sunday night.
The Serbian recovered from a mid-match slump to defeat Dominic Thiem 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 in the final at Melbourne Park, keeping the younger generations excluded from the grand slam winners' circle once again.
Djokovic is now just three behind Roger Federer for the most Grand Slam wins in tennis history.
