Novak Djokovic's run as world No. 1 won't be ending any time soon.

The Serb hoisted the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup for the fifth time after defeating Andy Murray in four sets in the 2015 Australian Open men's final. Not only has Djokovic dominated in Melbourne, but he's done the same to Murray, improving to a 16-8 all-time record against the Scot.

A final score of 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-0 helps tell a bit of the story from this match, as both men squandered big opportunities to pull away early before Murray completely collapsed down the stretch.



In the first set, Murray had seven break-point opportunities, winning just two while allowing Djokovic to take control. The Scot showed signs of life in the second set, saving three break points before going on to take the tiebreaker. The wheels fell off for Murray thereafter, as his serve was increasingly inaccurate, and unforced errors piled up. Finally, a Murray backhand sailed into the net on match point as Djokovic took the win.

Djokovic finished the match with eight aces, 53 winners and 40 unforced errors while winning 59 percent of his first-serve points, 70 percent of his net points, 56 percent of his break points and 46 percent of his receiving points. Murray tallied 10 aces, 41 winners and 49 unforced errors, winning 65 percent of his first-serve points, 70 percent of his net points, 42 percent of his break points and 40 percent of his receiving points.
