World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was the toast of Twitter following another successful Australian Open campaign in Melbourne. Djokovic claimed a record-equalling sixth Australian Open title with a straight set win over Andy Murray.
The Serb was a class above on Rod Laver Arena as he added an 11th Grand Slam title to his collection. And a host of past and present athletes heaped praise on Djokovic, who moved within six of Roger Federer's record 17 majors.
Congrats @DjokerNole on tying Roy Emerson with 6 #AusOpen titles! The standard you've set is incredible. I'm inspired. #11andcounting #peak — former women's No. 1 and 12-time Grand Slam champion Billie Jean King.
Hail King Nole... 6 Australian Opens and, ominously, putting some distance on Muzz and Fed in the process ... now in a league of his own — one-time Australian Open semi-finalist and sports administrator Paul McNamee.
So unfortunate 4 @andy_murray that he plays at the same time as @rogerfederer @rafaelnadal & @DjokerNole. He deserves more but 2 good Nole — retired Australian player Rennae Stubbs.
Novak Djokovic joins Rod Laver & Bjorn Borg with 11 Grand Slam titles. A record 6 @AustralianOpen titles. Superb performance from Nole — former player, coach and analyst Darren Cahill.
Congrats @DjokerNole and his team on #AusOpen2016 — Serbia international basketballer Bogdan Bogdanovic.
Oh man. Didn't think I could shed anymore tears watching @AustralianOpen and then Andy set me off again! — British former player Anne Keothavong.
