'An extraordinary sporting story'
David Law
Radio 5 live commentator at Melbourne Park
The fact Roger Federer has turned it around, after Novak Djokovic's period of dominance, and at 36 has won three Grand Slams in last 12 months is one of the most extraordinary sporting stories I have ever heard about.
I don't think even he expected this. It means so much more as a result

Tears of a champion

Federer ends with: "To all the fans. You fill the stadiums, you make me nervous, you make me go out and practice. I just want to thank you for everything.
"To my team, I love you guys."
Cue tears. Loads of tears. The 20-time Grand Slam winner's gone.
Stop it, Rog. You'll set us all off.

"It's been a long time waiting for this final. It's easier in the afternoon, but when it's at night you think about it all day. I'm happy it's over now. It's a dream come true and the fairytale continues.
"After the year I had last year, it's incredible."
