Novak Djokovic showed his class as he paid tribute to Dino Prizmic after beating the 18-year-old qualifier in a four-hour and two-minute epic at the Australian Open. The teenager was playing in his first Grand Slam main draw and took a set off of the 10-time champion in what was the longest first-round Grand Slam match of Djokovic’s career. After he prevailed 6-2 6-7(5) 6-3 6-4, the world No. 1 offered to be part of Prizmic’s support camp as he admitted he wanted to be in the Croat’s corner for the rest of his career.
