Crowned twice in Paris, London and New York, the prodigy from Murcia won his first Australian crown by winning against the Serbian (2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 3h02), who had never been beaten in ten finals in Melbourne. “I no longer have superlatives,” admits the defeated man, for whom this was perhaps the final appearance in the antipodes. He deserves all the praise he receives from all of tennis. He is charming, he has great values, a good entourage… and he has already made history when he is only 22 years old. It’s impressive. »
