Sunday’s Australian Open Final between Novak Djokovic pitted the #1 and #2 players in the world against one another, but there was no doubt as to who the top player in the world is after Djokovic’s resounding win.

The Serbian won his 15th Grand Slam title and his 7th Australian Open in dominating fashion by sweeping #2 ranked Rafael Nadal in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.

Djokovic spoke of being “in the zone” during the final on Sunday, and it was evident that Nadal stood no chance. The Spaniard could only watch as Djokovic controlled the match during nearly 2 hours.

Nadal tried his hardest to get his shots past Djokovic, but the Serbian’s defensive game was flawless. Known as the best returner in the world, Djokovic matched the Spaniard shot for shot and took advantage of every minuscule error that his outclassed opponent made.

The Australian Open title is Djokovic’s third consecutive men’s singles Grand Slam championship. He closed out 2018 by winning at both Wimbledon and the US Open.

On Sunday, another piece of hardware was added to Djokovic’s trophy case as he left no doubt about who is currently the best men’s tennis player in the world.
