• Djokovic fought back after angry outburst and umpire clash
Novak Djokovic strolled out of Rod Laver Arena a little after midnight, the cheers – and a few jeers – behind him drifting into the cool night through the opened roof. As he headed for the refuge of the locker room, he cuddled the heavy silver Norman Brookes trophy as if it were a baby, a prize he ought to own in perpetuity.
Then he paused for several minutes in a corridor and shared the moment with his brother, Djordje, his agents, his trainer and the two men who have had a significant influence on his tennis, Goran Ivanisevic and Marian Vajda.
