Murray back in Melbourne final

Andy Murray, 6/4 with bet365 to be crowned champion, will play in his third Australian Open final on Sunday, taking on world number one and two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic.

Murray will face Djokovic in the final after edging out Roger Federer 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-7 6-2 in a classic semi-final encounter in Melbourne. Djokovic holds a 10-7 winning record against Murray over their previous 17 meetings, with the Serb having come out on top in their two previous meetings at the Australian Open. Twelve months ago Djokovic won a bruising semi-final 6-3 3-6 6-7 6-1 7-5 before beating Rafael Nadal in the final, and in 2011 the current world number one won a one-sided final against Murray 6-4 6-2 6-3. Murray also reached the Melbourne final in 2010, when he was demolished in straight sets by Federer. The Scot is ready for another tense tussle with pal Djokovic, saying: "He is an unbelievable mover, so I will need to be ready for the pain, but I hope it is a painful match because that means it will be a good one."
