Novak Djokovic delivered a masterclass in power and precision and beat Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final. The Serbian tennis player won his 18th Grand Slam title.

The match had all the hallmarks of a classic, particularly after an impressive first set by both players. But the world number one soon put his foot down and raced to a 7-5 6-2 6-2 victory in less than two hours.

The victory secures a ninth Australian Open title that extends the record of Djokovic, who is now just two grand slams from the all-time record held by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer with 20 titles each. (CNN)
