NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have known each for approximately 25 years. They were born a week apart. They played each other as juniors when they were all of 12 years old. Upon turning professional, they squared off 36 times, including 10-times in Grand Slams. The Serb won 25 times and now-retired Murray took the other 11. At the majors, that record stood at 8-2.
Nowhere did the balance tip more in favour of 37-year-Djokovic than at the Australian Open. They met five times - four finals and a semi-final - and Djokovic held the upper hand each time.
