Novak Djokovic won Australian Open Final 2012


Novak Djokovic won his third Australian Open title when he beat Rafael Nadal 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5 in an epic encounter on Sunday in Melbourne that lasted almost six hours.
After trading breaks early in the final set, Djokovic got the decisive break of serve in the 11th game and came out at 6-5 to serve for the match.
He finally closed out the match at 1:40am Melbourne time, after the longest grand slam final in history.
FOURTH SET
Rafael Nadal saved three break points in the eighth game of the fourth set then waited out a 10-minute rain break before he levelled the Australian Open final against Novak Djokovic on Sunday by taking the fourth set 7-6.
Nadal had been facing the distinct possibility of defeat within five minutes when he was reduced to 0-40 while trailling 3-4 in the set but produced a fantastic backhand pass and three massive serves to claw his way back into the match, which prompted the crowd to break into tumultuous chants of "Rafa".
The players were then forced off the court as officials shut the roof on Rod Laver Arena after rain swept across central Melbourne and the ball boys and girls scrambled around on their knees with towels to dry the court.
Nadal then fed off the crowd that had swung behind him and, after seemingly being down and out, returned to his fist-pumping, competitive best and took the tiebreak 7-5 to send the match into a decider.
There will be no tie-breaker in the fifth set.
THIRD SET
Djokovic had raced through the third set 6-2 as he began to wear the Spaniard down.
Djokovic set the tone when he blasted through the first game and held serve to love and while he had no break points on Nadal's first service game of the set, the Spaniard was forced to battle as the Serb forced three deuce points.
The world No 1 continued the pressure on Nadal's serve in the fourth game when he sealed the important break and then consolidated for a 4-1 lead when he again held his own serve to love.
Djokovic, who was stepping inside the court and attacking Nadal's top-spin forehand while compelling the Spaniard to play from deep behind the baseline, again pressured Nadal on serve then held his own serve to love to take a 5-2 lead.
He sealed the set when he broke Nadal to love in the next game and the momentum had definitely swung towards the defending champion.
Djokovic only dropped two points on serve in the 45-minute third set.
SECOND SET
Djokovic's powerful forehand finally started to find its range as grabbed the second set 6-4 to level the match.
The Serb also put pressure on Nadal's serve at every opportunity and broke in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead.
Nadal, though, had won the point of the match when he produced a stunning running backhand top-spin drive down the line that brought the crowd to their feet after a 15-shot rally that swept back and forth across the court.
Djokovic was serving for the set but was broken when he held two set points before he seized back the initiative in the next game and broke Nadal again to level when the Spaniard served his second double fault.
FIRST SET
Nadal broke the world No 1 twice in an error-ridden first set before he won it 7-5 to take the early lead.
Djokovic suffered a slight scare in the fourth game when he went over on his right ankle after attempting a slide, and went down to his haunches before he began to flex and roll it in circles at the end of the game.
Both players failed to really settle or stamp their authority on the match, though Djokovic had more opportunities to break the Spaniard's serve.
After breaking in the fifth game Nadal had to fight off Djokovic twice before the Serb broke in the eighth game, though Nadal seized back the advantage in the 11th game and sealed the opener on his third set point when a backhand return floated long.

پاکستانی فتح،برطانوی و بھارتی میڈیاکی تعریف


لندن: ٹیسٹ کرکٹ کی سرفہرست انگلینڈ  اور ورلڈ کپ فاتح   بھارت  کی ٹیموں  کی پاکستان اور آسٹریلیا  کے ہاتھوں بدترین شکست  کھلاڑیوں کے لئے بدنامی کا سبب بن گئی برطانوی اور بھارتی میڈیا  نے  گرین شرٹ سے  سبق سیکھنے کی تلقین کردیں ۔
برطانوی اخباردی سن کا کہنا ہے کہ دنیا کی نمبر ون ٹیم انگلینڈ کے بلے باز عبدالرحمان کے سامنے بھیگی بلی بنے رہے، انہیں اس کی گھومتی ہوئی گیندوں کی بالکل سمجھ نہیں آ رہی تھی۔
بھارتی اخبار ٹائمز اف انڈیا کا کہنا ہے کہ انگلش کھلاڑیوں نے پاکستانی سپنرز کے سامنے گھٹنے ٹیک دیئے، اخبار کا کہنا ہے کہ مسلسل نو سریز جیت کر نمبر ون انگلینڈ کیلئے یہ ایک بھیانک شکست ہے۔
برطانوی اخبار ٹیلی گراف نے لکھا ہے کہ ٹیسٹ میچوں میں پاکستان کے خلاف انگلینڈ کا یہ ابتک کا سب سے کم ترین سکور ہے۔
اخبار گارڈین کا کہنا ہے کہ عام خیال تھا کہ انگلینڈ میچ جیت جائے گا لیکن جس طرح اس کی اخری پانچ وکٹیں صرف چار رنز پر گر گیئں وہ حیران کن ہے۔
بھارتی اخبارات  نے دھونی الیون کو مشورہ دیا کہ وہ  پاکستان کی  موجودہ کارکردگی سے سبق حاصل کرئے کہ اس نے کس طرح  انگلینڈ کی ٹیم کو شکست سے دوچار کیا ہے۔
یاد رہے کہ بھارت  کو آسٹریلیا  نے وائٹ واش  شکست سے دوچار کیا ہے جس کے باعث کئی سپر اسٹار کھلاڑیوں  کو تنقید کا سامنا کرنا پڑ رہاہے۔
