Djokovic beats tsonga: Djokovic stops the surprise unseeded Tsonga; wins australian open

Though appearing to be injured at some points, Djokovic put an end to the great surprise of the unseeded Tsonga carrying on all the way to the finals.

The match ended 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 ending a fourth set that was overflowing with suspense by winning the tie break. A nervous looking Tsonga appeared to be holding on quite well to the rather irritated and jittery looking Djokovic.

In the fourth set, right before his deuce at 5-5, Djokovic looked thoroughly annoyed as he requested the umpire to say "quiet". He followed through with two marvelous points to end up with the advantage and then the game making it 6-5.

Making it truly a great final, the fourth set ended with a tie breaker. At this point, Djokovic made it very convincing to the fans by winning the tie breaker 7-2, winning this years Australian Open.
