Serbia’s Novak Djokovic secured his second career Grand Slam title after winning the Australian Open 2011 Men’s Singles title in Melbourne, beating friend Andy Murray of Great Britain 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, in what could be perceived as a somewhat lopsided match.
This marked as the first time the two men have met in a Grand Slam match. They’ve played seven times in the past with Djokovic elading 4-3, and this will change to 5-3 after this match.
Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title at the same tournament three years ago. He defeated defending champion Roger Federer in the semifinals.
