Novak Djokovic Wins Epic 5 Setter to Reach Quarterfinals at Australian Open then Rips Off His Shirt

Australian Open - Men's Fourth Round

1 Novak Djokovic d 15 Stanislas Wawrinka - 16 75 64 67(5) 12/10

I don't like to call pre-semifinal matches instant classic but...

I'll surely make an exception with this 5:02 match.

I mean, Nole was a set and 2-5 down before turning things around.

And then he nearly couldn't win the damn thing.

Post match: It was one of the longest, most interesting,

and most exciting matches I played in my career.

He will face 5 Tomas Berdych in the Qf's: 11-1 for Novak.

I know I can recover. I know I have it in me.

I wasn't worried too much about the physical part. I was ready for it.

I was ready to go the distance, and I've done so.

Hopefully I can take that day off tomorrow and recover for the quarters.

I don't mind these epic Nole matches when the result is that shirt strip.
