Djokovic outlasts Nadal in Australian Open final that lasts nearly 6 hours

The tennis marathon has already been redefined, in all likelihood for good, by John Isner’s victory over Nicolas Mahut in the opening round of Wimbledon in 2010. How do you top 11 hours and 5 minutes and 70-68 in the fifth set? But Novak Djokovic was certainlyfeeling second to no one today (Sunday PST) as he bellowed and flexed his bare chest in Rod Laver Arena after a match that ended at 1:37 a.m. Melbourne time.
