So we've seen history. No, not a calendar-year slam or a record-setting 21st major. Instead, we've seen a historic breakthrough from one of the players who've been bumping into the Big Three's wall for so long.

Tennis has surely benefited from Djokovic's run. But the sport may also benefit from this result. It's one thing to have a new champion after the older ones have retired. It's another to see a charismatic younger player ascend to the top on such a big stage, fending off one of the greatest players in history along with a partisan crowd and the pressure of such an occasion.
