Rally after rally ensued, as the World No2 brought the fight to Djokovic, but the man in blue held his serve to clinch the second.
In what was their 31st meeting on the professional stage, Murray was tasked with the challenge of fighting back from a two-set deficit. He had never achieved the feat before, and he couldn’t break the mould in Melbourne.

His sixth Australian Open crown was duly confirmed, extending his lead to 22 victories over Murray, winning with a third-set tiebreak.
