Relive Djokovic's best Australian Open moments

First things first, this is by no means a comprehensive, ranked list of Novak Djokovic's best Australian Open moments. Accumulating that many incredible points and shots would require IBM's Watson Supercomputer.

But on the eve of the Serbian‘s ninth Australian Open final, it only felt right to remind the public that Djokovic, for many reasons, has been borderline unbeatable on Rod Laver Arena. Here are just a few of the world No. 1's most impressive shots.

The 2012 Australian Open final between Djokovic and Rafael Nadal ranks high among the greatest matches of all time.

Few players, if any, turn defense into offense like the Serbian.

Djokovic's defense against Dominic Thiem in last year's final was too much for the Austrian. Losing points like this is demoralizing.

All Roger Federer could do was watch as Djokovic executed the perfect drop shot counter in last year's semifinal.

Tatsuma Ito never stood a chance in last year's second round.

If you think hitting shots like this is unfair, you'd be correct.

Nadal wins this point against 99 percent of other players, but nobody can hit the open-stance backhand like Djokovic.

When your coach tells you to hit to the corners, this is what they mean.

This would not be the last time Federer watched Djokovic strike a crosscourt forehand passing shot by him.

Once again, Djokovic turns defense into offense in demoralizing fashion.

Djokovic will look to win his ninth Australian Open title and 18th major when he faces Daniil Medvedev in the final.
