MEN'S FINAL THE BREAKDOWN
Novak Djokovic vs. Andy Murray
Time: 2 a.m. Sunday
TV: ESPN (replays are available on Tennis Channel and ESPN2).
Head-to-head: Djokovic leads 21-9 and has won 10 of the past 11. Djokovic has beaten Murray three times in Australian Open finals, every odd year since 2011.
World rankings: Djokovic 1, Murray 2.
Australian Open seeds: Djokovic 1, Murray 2.
The skinny: Djokovic, 28, is 5-0 in Australian Open finals. Murray, 28, is 0-4 and, well, a bit defensive. "Five finals is a great achievement. You can't take that away from me," Murray said. "So I have to be proud of that achievement. Doesn't matter what's happened in the past. What matters is what happens Sunday." Trouble is, his opponent Sunday has won 27 of his 28 matches in Grand Slams in 2015 and 2016.
