Djokovic is now the first man in the Open Era to win six Australian Open titles. It was not only  Djokovic who created a record today. Andy Murray also did, albeit, unwanted one.

He is the only man to lose the final at Australian Open five times, four of them to Djokovic. RECORD!

Meanwhile Angelique Kerber sprung a surprise at the female final on saturday by defeating tournament favourite Serena Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in an entertaining final and put pay to Serena's dream of securing 22 career grand slam.
