After winning the Aussie Open on Sunday, Novak Djokovic threw his shirt to a cheerful young fan. Alas, there was a thief on the loose. Damn you, greedy t-shirt lady.

In addition to now having mastered the sport of tennis in a way few ever have, Novak Djokovic is putting together some of the best victory celebrations we’ve seen in the game. See his latest after the jump.

Rafael Nadal gets the best of Roger Federer more often than not when the players square off, but some of those wins have been classic matches with both players playing at an absurd level. And they’re not the only ones who step up their games when they face off.

Running counts. Jams count. Style counts. Happy Feet counts. MC Hammer counts. Popeye counts.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop? Doesn’t count.

What stands out about Roger Federer’s career – besides the fact that at his peak, he was (and still occasionally is) one of the most dominant athletes who ever lived – is how dignified he always (well, almost always) appeared while doing it. But behind all that dignity lurks a keen awareness of just how good he is.

Novak Djokovic’s quest for a third Australian Open title continued on with a straight-set quarterfinal victory, but the defending champ looked a little winded during the match. He was asked about this after the match…but in the strangest way possible.

During Andy Murray’s straight set win over Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinal of the Australian Open, former tennis pro and current ESPN analyst Patrick McEnroe (younger brother of John) wanted to get a closer look at one of Murray’s drop shots. Unfortunately, a ball boy was in the way.

Bernie Tomic was beaten in straight sets by Roger Federer 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, and his run at the Australian Open (his home country) is over. Sadly, with that goes the frequent shots of Tomic’s celebrated girlfriend, Donay Meijer. Join us for the best shots of Donay from the match with Federer, along with a final image of Tomic’s cheerleaders…

Handshakes are supposed to be the ultimate gesture of sportsmanship at the end of a game, but lately it just hasn’t worked out that way. At the conclusion of a grueling five set match between Tomas Berdych and Nicolas Almagro, Berdych refused to shake Almagro’s hand due to Almagro hitting with a volley earlier in the match, as you see in the picture above. The crowd was not happy with Berdych, and let him know it after the match.
