Aus Open 2013 - Men's Final

I ended up scoring Pooey's extra ticket to the Aus Open Men's final - HOORAY! We were sitting about 5 or so rows back and saw such people as Jamie Packer (who would often disappear) and some Channel 7 celebrities whom Pooey could identify but who I had no idea about. Doesn't matter - we were all there to watch Novak Djokovic take out Andy Murray.
The two finalists gearing up for the match.

Coin toss...

followed by a friendly, "Good luck", between the players.

Nice night for tennis - check out that moon!

The match was pretty gripping - I was going for Djoker over Rat-face but it seemed he made as many mistakes in the first set that he made in the entire match against Ferrer. But it all came good in the end! The tension of the match was duly reflected in the relatively small number of photos I took of the actual play.  
Too bad, Rat-face!

Raquet thrown in relief!

The final score. 

Recognise that chrome-dome? That's Andre Agassi giving Murray a pat on the bum!

Looks like Andre also gave him a wedgie!

Winner!

Winner and not-Winner!

He then did a lap of glory and let these people actually take the trophy off him!

Flashing lights.

As Pooey and I were leaving, we came across a giant crowd of Serbs in the garden and realised they were hanging around for the post-match interview. Two small Asians duly joined in!
Interview in progress!

And then he came out and shook the trophy at us while everyone cheered before going onto an interview with Eurosports!

This guy was shaking his baby around trying to get on tv hehehe. But also >:( to baby shaking!
