On Sunday in Melbourne there was a final men match of the Australian Open tournament. Opposite each other there stood French, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Serbian, Novak Djoković. In the tournament they both showed a big determination, talent and great tennis skills. Neither of them has won as big tournament before. But Djoković had his chance last year in the US Open. He lost that time in the final game with Roger Federer. This time Swiss lost in semi-finals and Serbian got his second chance, which he absolutely made this time.
The Serbian winning in the final wasn’t a big surprise. He’s (although he’s very young) the 3rd tennis player in the world. But everyone was surprised that a second finalist was Tsonga. Nobody thought that he could go so far, because before the Australian Open (and his second location) he was on the 38th place in the world tennis players list.
The match started really well. Both of the players – young, tall and talented – were fighting for every ball. Tsonga won the first set. To the second part Serbian came with even more determination than to the first. He won the second, third and fourth sets. After the 3rd part French was a little bit discouraged, but he was playing really good to the end. In the 4th set there appeard a chance for him, because Djoković had some troubles with his leg. After a break he came back to the play with bigger strengths and he was doing his best. Finally, after almost 3 hours of playing Novak Djocović won the Australian Open.
Djoković, who is now 20 years old, is the 4th tennis player who won so big prize in so young age and he’s the first Serbian who won the Grand Slam tournament. The winning didn’t give him promotion to the 2nd place, which belongs to Rafael Nadal now, but it made him a little bit closer to the Spanish. I hope that Djoković will be on the 1st place in a few years. He absolutely deserves it.
