Novak Djokovic ascended to Cloud Nine at Melbourne Park after reeling off yet another title.
The 33-year-old Serb moved to within two Grand Slam triumphs of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the place where he simply cannot lose.
This time he saw off the potentially dangerous challenge of Daniil Medvedev with a laser-focused performance that resulted in a 7-5 6-2 6-2 that took just one hour and 53 minutes.
As the great champions move deeper into their thirties, the younger generation still struggle for a breakthrough. Medvedev was out-fought and out-thought, his fate finally sealed by an athletic overhead flick from the Serb.
In a gracious acceptance Djokovic told Medvedev: ‘It’s a matter of time before you are going to win a Grand Slam but if you don’t mind waiting a few more years.’
Medvedev regretted not making it more of a contest: ‘I really wanted to make the match longer and more entertaining,’ he said. ‘It wasn’t the best day today for me but it’s been a great last three months.’
