Novak Djokovic greets fans by the Yarra, gets drink on for the cameras

Giving thanks: Following Maria "Shriek"apova's lead, Novak Djokovic greeted the press and many of his supporters at the Yarra River in Melbourne to celebrate his Aussie Open win; he now leads the ATP 2008 Race to the Masters Cup after his first Grand Slam title.

Nole will next join his Serbian countrymen as they take on Russia in the first round of the Davis Cup World Group tie from February 8th - 10th.


The 20-year old seems to have put his training on hold for now, getting his drink on and downing some well-deserved bubbly by the water. We're sure there'll be more partying to come in Serbia...stay tuned.
