MELBOURNE - Novak Djokovic was so good, so relentless, so pretty much perfect, that Rafael Nadal never stood a chance.
Djokovic reduced one of the greats of the game to merely another outclassed opponent - just a guy, really - and one so out of sorts that Nadal even whiffed on one of his famous forehands entirely.
In a remarkably dominant and mistake-free performance that yielded a remarkably lopsided result, the No 1-ranked Djokovic overwhelmed Nadal 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 on Sunday night to win a record seventh Australian Open championship and a third consecutive Grand Slam title, raising his count to 15 overall.
"An amazing level of tennis," Nadal acknowledged.
