Tennis: 'He was a god for me' - Medvedev fondly recalls first meeting with Djokovic

Russia's Daniil Medvedev fondly recalled his first meeting with Novak Djokovic on the practice courts in Monaco when the Russian was ranked around 500 or 600 in the world and revealed he "was a god for me." Top seed Djokovic delivered an emphatic performance at Melbourne Park on Sunday as the 33-year-old won his ninth Australian Open men's singles title and 18th Grand Slam crown overall following a straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 6-2, victory over fourth seed Medvedev.
