Novak Djokovic "finally" won the big one, the Australian Open, this morning in Melbourne. 
                        
The 20 year old Serb defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in four sets 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 on Saint Sava's Day, the patron saint and father of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
              
After watching Novak lose to Rodger Federer last September in Flushing Meadows at the US Open (permalink), it was gratifying to see Novak win for personal and political reasons.  During former War Criminal in Chief President Clinton's illegal bombing of the former Yugoslavia in 1999 (there was a tie in the war authorization vote in the House of Representatives), Novak and other Serbs including my relatives had to deal with life and death issues every day and night.  Twelve year old Novak was luckier than most as he was able to go to Germany for safety.

The tennis world is far better for Novak, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Janko Tipsarevic, and others surviving those 78 consecutive days of illegal and immoral bombing of a sovereign country.  There are many more fighting cancer, birth defects, and other health ailments caused by depleted uranium used during the bombing.
                                            
Congratulations Novak!  We're proud of you!  Many years of health and championship tennis!
