REVIEW: Djokovic 1st player in Open era to Aus Open threepeat

TENNIS - Novak Djokovic has become the first player in the Open era to win the Australian Open in three successive years. The last player to achieve that feat before the Open era started (1968) was Roy Emerson who won five in a row from 1963 to 1967. Jack Crawford (1931-1933) is the only other player to win this tournament at least three years in a row.

Djokovic took his sixth career Grand Slam men’s singles title in the Open era, in that respect equalling Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg.
