Tennis is for Tough Guys; Just Ask Australian Open Winner Novak Djokovic

When you win it is natural to be a little excited; even if you are one of the best at what you do and are expected to win (or at the least be seriously competitive). So when Novak Djokovic won his fourth round match at the 2013 Australian Open it should come as no shock that he ripped off his shirt and let a blood-curdling scream in celebration.

Wait...Australian Open? You mean--tennis? Yes, sports fans, even tennis players are getting a little crazy now after a big win.



To put the celebration into context, Novak had just finished a marathon match of nearly six hours against one of the best players in the sport, Rafael Nadal,  5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5.

That win alone would be enough to get excited about, but Novak is playing some of the best tennis of his career. Not only has he played in this sure-fire classic, but a couple nights ago he had another epic match against another top notch player, Andy Murray.

Now if only Maria Sharapova or Maria Kirilenko would celebrate that way...
