Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic: Australian Open final - live! In the 60s it was Rod Laver v Ken Rosewall, at the turn of the 70s to 80s it was John McEnroe v Bjorn Borg, in the late 80s it was Stefan Edberg v Boris Becker, in the 90s it was Pete Sampras v Andre Agassi and in the last decade it was Roger Federer v Rafael Nadal. Tennis has always been defined by great rivalries and now, it seems, we could be witnessing the start of another. Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have some way to go before they reach the 35 meetings between Edberg and Becker, or the 28 we've witnessed between Federer and Nadal (the Murray v Djokovic count will hit 18 today), but time is on their side. While Federer turns 32 this year and Nadal nurses his wounded knees ahead of a planned return next month, Murray and Djokovic, both at 25, are reaching what should be the height of their physical powers. This is the second straight grand slam final they've contested and both are playing for a piece of history; Murray is trying to become the first man in the Open era to add a second major title immediately after winning his first, and Djokovic the first to win the Australian Open three years in a row. The statistics underline a new chapter in tennis. But this is a story that started when these two friends first met as juniors when they were 11 or 12. Djokovic remembers this of Murray: "He had a lot of hair, a lot of curly hair. He was quite pale also. Murray, ever the competitor, remembers the score: "I won 6-0, 6-1 maybe." The great British nation would like more of the same from Murray today, please. Though the evidence suggests this may go on. And on.
