In the editions of last year´s Wimbledon and U.S. Open, the victory went to the Balkan player.
The victory of the Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic on Andy Murray in the semifinals of Open Australia has meant that, for the third consecutive Grand Slam, the final is between the player from Belgrade and Spanish Rafael Nadal.
In the editions of last year´s Wimbledon and U.S. Open, the victory went to the Balkan player in four sets, and his triumph at the All England Club is also allowed to unseat Nadal as world number one.
The precedent for a third Grand Slam final between the two was in the U.S. Open in 2010 and this time the victory went to Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic and Nadal will play this Sunday in Melbourne thirty-faced, with a favorable balance to Spanish of 16 wins for 13 victories last year while Djokovic won in the six times they faced off, all in the end and the three potential surfaces.
In five-set matches, have met on seven occasions, with five wins for Spanish, twice at Roland Garros in a Davis Cup tie at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, while Djokovic wins first last year reached the finals of Wimbledon and U.S. Open.
