Will Novak Djokovic capture his fifth grand slam title and defeat Rafael Nadal for the seventh straight time, or will the Spaniard begin the 2012 season on a different note? We also preview the women's final between Maria and Vika.
After 345 points of phenomenal tennis played over 4 hours and 50 minutes, Novak Djokovic triumphed over a gallant Andy Murray in a brutal second men’s semi-final, the Serb overcoming physical problems and some brilliant play from Murray to return to the Australian Open final.
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic reached his fourth major final in a row early Saturday morning in Melbourne, defeating No. 4 seed Andy Murray, 6-3, 3-6, 6-7(4), 6-1, 7-5.
