Unbelievable that you simply can’t bring yourself to acknowledge the Joker’s title. Let me help:

Novak Djokovic warmed up for his Australian Open return by saving a championship point en route to clinching the Adelaide International title with a thrilling victory over the American Sebastian Korda.

The Serb looked in danger of slipping to a surprise defeat before triumphing 6-7 (8), 7-6 (3), 6-4 in a gruelling three hours and nine minutes to extend his winning streak in Australia to 34 matches, dating back to 2019.

Mozat 

The Australian Open is starting next week and you could perhaps wait till then to start your .obsession with Djokovic.   

The qualification rounds will be completed tomorrow  and I would after that be able to provide the Mian draw as from Round 2 that will give you the opportunity to flood the Board with your obseesive coments.     

I have no obsession with anything….but somebody who reports the results until the man he doesn’t want to win, actually wins….is obsessed.
