    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, 2015 Australian Open winner (on how he is feeling the day after defeating Andy Murray in the final)

    "Of course I'm not the freshest guy around. I'm sure you have more substance than I do today. It's been a great battle. It always is when I play against Andy. He's one of my greatest rivals. We've known each other for a long time. This is the third Australian Open final we've played against each other and each one of them went the distance so it took a physical toll on my body."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, 2015 Australian Open winner (on British media speculation he faked his physical troubles in the final):

    "What can I say there are people who have a right to express their opinions and speculate about different things. I said what I needed to say at my press conference yesterday. If I their needs of knowing what was going on good, if I didn't then I'm sorry about that."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, 2015 Australian Open winner (on if he has a mental advantage over Andy Murray now):

    "We played 15 times, many different big occasions - Olympic Games, final of Wimbledon, those are the games I've lost against him, but I won our last seven or eight matches. This definitely will serve as a mental advantage every time we play against each other in the future."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, 2015 Australian Open winner (on what this win means to him):

    "Getting married and becoming a father all in the last seven months gives me a new motivation and a new energy that I use in these last couple weeks. It's different, it's different now. I'm playing for my boy, I'm playing for my family. There's a deeper more intrinsic value and meaning to this win this year."
