No. 1 Djokovic, 24...won his 5th major title by beating No 2 Nadal.
He has now beaten Nadal in 7 successive finals.
"This one I think comes out on the top because we played almost six hours ... I think it's probably the longest finals in the history of all grand slams, and just to hear that fact is making me cry" said Djokovic.
