With the Australian Open title in the balance, Novak Djokovic needed to rally. After three sets, the 32-year-old Djokovic found himself trailing 2-1 to Dominic Thiem. On top of that, Djokovic wasn’t feeling great, battling both dizziness and dehydration.
Just when it looked like he was out, Djokovic found a way to battle back. Djokovic rebounded to win the final two sets, taking home his eighth Australian Open title Sunday.
After struggling in the first three sets — 6-4, 4-6, 2-6 — Djokovic had to take a medical timeout because he was feeling dizzy, according to AFP.
