Well deserved for Djokovic winning this title.
However, we have to congratulate Thiem for facing Nole equally and looking him straight to the eyes.
This game made him more experienced and maybe he is going to win Djokovic in the next tournament.

I respect Djokovic for his performance during the final of the tournament and like some people say "experience do count" but there big chance for the next year game to be different.

Fun Fact:

In the last 12 Grand Slam tournaments, the women have had eight first-time major singles champions. Joining that list on Saturday at the Australian Open was Sofia Kenin, an assured American seeded just 14th.

So that's how crazy the women side, as we have said it's totally unpredictable.

These are the reason i usually bet anyone win for the women game.

In the last 21 Grand Slam tournaments, the men haven’t had any first-time major singles champions.

At the end of the 2009 season, the top three players in the rankings were, in order, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. This week, a decade later, the order is Djokovic, Nadal and Federer.

The dominance of the big three is still evident a decade after. But we all know that down the line they will be challenge, but as of now, if will take a lot to overcome them.

I will certainly take alot to overcome the three tough guy but if we check closing the performance of the tennis players (Thiem, Zev etc) these days the day everything will change is approaching and i also believe most tennis fans also want a new face to be number 1 in the men side.

Mental toughness is what really separates the elite tennis player to the young players we have right now.

This is true and he showed that in the Finals where it matters most.
No doubt he is one of the best tennis player in the world now and you can guarantee a win of your money every time you bet on him to win.

Thiem vs Nadal was a great match also, this young fella upset Nadal in the Quarter-Finals so it makes me think that he can compete with the elite and in fact he showed his heart out getting ahead in the match, but Novak was just too clever and too smart, he knows when to attack and get this win.

Clever, too smart and on a different level that's why it's very very difficult to beat Novak at this point. Who would have thought that he can make that remarkable comeback? There was some controversy though, when he was taking medical timeouts in crucial parts of the game, but I don't think he do it to break Thiem's momentum.

Great match and a big victory for Djokovic.
He pulled himself out of a difficult situation, reversed the match and won.
Once again, Djokovic showed why he is the greatest tennis player of all time.
Undoubtedly, Djokovic will soon surpass both Federer and Nadal with the number of GS titles.

One of the best performance for Djokovic, we all think that he is already out, but he came through once again and denied Thiem. We always discussed that we wanted someone new to bring home the trophy for this year, but Djokovic just up holded the status quo of the big 3. It's a five setter indeed.

One thing about Thiem is that he is constantly improving as years goes by. For sure one day he will win a Grand Slam. Congrats to both of them.

Djokovic is just unstoppable when it comes to the Australian Open, he is always ready and up for the challenge which is why he has now won 8 Australian Open titles. Like you and I have been saying in here for over a year now, Djokovic will most likely be the greatest grand slam winner in history as he is almost certain to now pass Nadal and Federer and we may not see another Man do this for a very long time. If Djokovic can do what he did last year then he will be just two off from Federer, I'm thinking that Nadal might equal Federer on 20 grand slam titles with the French Open as he is very hard to beat. Djokovic still at least has 3-5 years if he is able to stay fit and healthy. It was looking good for Thiem but again when he is in front of the match he isn't able to go on with it and win. We have also been saying this in here for the past two years about him, I just hope that one day he can get it right and win a grand slam. Congrats to Djokovic on once again winning the AO.

Correct, I'm glad you mentioned it, I think Australian Open is one of the best tournaments that Djokovic really excel throughout his career. We have so many discussions in the last two years and still no one can break him in this tournament. So we know that he still has a lot of years ahead of him, compare to Nadal so breaking Federer's record is really within sight of him. Again, Thiem has the chance, but still not there to the levels of the big three as he melted again in the pressure of big events such as this. For sure Thiem will have this time raising the AO trophy in the coming years as he mature and have that experience under his belt.

Djokovic is a great tennis player, He is the first tennis player that can win Grand Slam tittle in 3 different decade, and now He is in first rank replaced Nadal place.
What I saw on match is this is the first time (if I'm not mistaken) Djokovic able to turn things around and win the match, I almost chose not to continue watching the match in third set because I saw the match which no longer interesting but really beyond the usual, sets 4 and 5 returned to a tight match between the two players.
Soon Thiem will able to win the Grand Slam title

Congratulations on Djokovic and those who back him, I was wondering what the odds are when Thim was up 2 sets to 1.

^ Novac Djokovic is really the best tennis player for me. I tried to watch the game in Rod Laver Arena and the 6-4-2-6-6 isn't bad for him.
He won against Federer easily last January 30 and now this is it. This Serbian person is really great. He has the best focus and I've witnessed it. Nevertheless, did you see how did Djokovic make it out of that situational play? Very good reverse! He really deserved it!

I was thinking Thiem can win but after watching this final now I am sure Djokovic is really machine he can stay here in tennis for some more years and this new generation need something special to beat this insane robot what a player and what a human he deserve to be world greatest players.

Of the big 3, Novak is somewhat the youngest so probably he can stay a bit longer than Federer and Nadal and probably will go on to break Federer's GS record. Mental toughness is what really separates the elite tennis player to the young players we have right now. This is Thiem's 3rd attempt and failure to win a GS, but I'm sure he will be back hungry.

I am not really a fan of tennis but my wife is, so I am currently watching the australian open between Novak and Thiem.
Actually I know Novak was good and I saw how he played in the first set but before the game I was really thinking of betting on Thiem to win as the odds are really tempting, however I was not able to put my bet so I ended up just watching the game.

Now, I like some advise here, Thiem is currently 2.40 now, do you think this is worth?

Men's final is starting as I write this. Looking forward to seeing some world class tennis, I missed most of the matches on AO since it is played during my night and work hours but at least the final falls on Sunday morning so I can watch uninterrupted

Bets are made, food is prepared, wife and kid are out shopping and now I just need Thiem to take at least one set to make my morning profitable or at least cover the loses from probable shopping spree.

Great match so far.
It seems to me that Djokovic is too nervous, but as the match goes on he calms down and plays better and at the moment everything is open.
OK it looks like the match will enter the fifth set and it seems to me that a small psychological advantage could be on Djokovic's side.
Edit: Trofo, don't worry, Thiem has already taken 2 sets and not just one Grin

Congrats to Kenin, reminds of a young Maria Sharapova, (you guys agree with me?) very competitive. She did lost the first set and I thought that Muguruza will take home the trophy. But Kenin who is really determine come back strong in the 2nd and 3rd set. And I would agree that we're really seeing new women champion for this years grand slam.

I've been saying in here for the past 2 years now that its only a matter of time before we see Thiem win a grand slam title. He has been close a couple of times at the French Open but both those times it was against the king of clay Nadal. What I'm most impressed with Thiem is that he has come a long way on hard courts as he is a very good clay court player so I really hope that he can win his first grand slam and put a stop to Djokovic's dominance at winning the AO.

It will be a hard fought game if ever Thiem can overcome Djokovic is AO this year. Me as well are hoping to see fresh new blood raising a Grand Slam trophy this year, and if there is someone that can dethrone Djokovic, Thiem's name will easily come into the discussion.

It's going to be a good match for sure, I would like to see a back and forth match and a five setter, hard and grind and both of them not willing to give an inch.

I'm hoping to see a fresh new face win the Men's AO and a grand slam as its been Federer, Nadal and Djokovic for years now winning all the grand slams so hopefully Thiem can change this. On the Women's side we have seen 7 different grand slam winners and again last night a new grand slam winner in Kenin winning. I had a small bet on Muguruza on FreeBitcoin site when she was at $30 odds so I was hoping that she would win but I hedged my bet on the others 2 days ago so I broke even. Kenin has a lot of fight in her and she never gives up, she kind of reminds me how Nadal plays as he is another one that never gives up. I'm hoping for a good final tonight and hopefully Thiem can push Djokovic and I hope it goes the distance 5 sets.

Watching women final and I am really impressed by the level of tennis shown by this 2 girls. This is probably first time I am watching Kenin play her whole match and I must say she is a complete player. She has a solid serve, strong backhand and forehand and even mixes nicely with some short balls and lobs. I will probably favor her heavily in the coming tournaments if she keeps this level of form. It is 1:1 in the sets and we have a really good 3rd set developing. Kenin just saved few break balls with great shot selections.

I agree, I was also very impressed with here, solid serve and heavy backhand and forehand. She was a thing to behold and I wouldn't be surprised if he can duplicate her winnings here in other upcoming Grand Slams tournament this year. Good run for Muruguza I can only hope as well that this is like a second win for her career.

Now all eyes are on the men, tough to see who will win but I think Djokovic will have a slight edge as the match goes on, so let's see.
