Hello, folks. Just listening in to Djokovic’s post-match chat. He’s asked about his motivation, presumably because he’s won this thing a gazillion times. “I’ve been blessed to go through a very interesting life journey. Coming from Serbia in the 90s wasn’t easy for my family, my parents had to endure a lot of adversity, economically, in every sense, in order for me to live my dream, to play a sport which was very expensive, still is for our country, at that time it was super expensive comparing to some other team sports.
“My parents did everything they possibly can to provide the conditions, the possibilities for me to be able to train. I wasn’t travelling for couple of years in the junior days because of lack of resources, war, embargo, a lot of different things.
“In the end of the day, when I reflect on all of the journey that I’ve been through, that we’ve all been through as a family or as people of Serbia, it’s honestly an incredible blessing to be here and I’m very grateful for that.”

The world number one marches on. As close to flawless as you’d expect. His 100th match in Melbourne ends with an inevitable victory. He was made to work in that third set, but only in fourth gear. The first two were won in second as he unfurled sumptuous drops, crunching two-handed back-hands and a ruthless service game. Outstanding. How do you beat him?
