They have met 19 times, and Djokovic leads head-to-head 11–8. They have met in nine tour finals, including four at Grand Slam tournaments, with Murray leading 5–4. The four Grand Slam tournament finals the two have met in were the 2011 Australian Open, in which Djokovic won in three sets, the 2012 US Open, where Murray defeated Djokovic in a record equaling match almost 5 hours long to claim his maiden Grand Slam title, the 2013 Australian Open with Djokovic prevailing in four sets and the 2013 Wimbledon Championships where Murray won in straight sets. Djokovic has won both of their matches on clay, Murray has won both their matches on grass, and Djokovic leads on hard courts 9–6.
The two are almost the same age, Murray being a week older than Djokovic. They went to training camp together, and as juniors, Murray won the first ever match they played together. The rivalry has become an important part of both men's careers. At present, they are the two highest ranked male players in the world, with Djokovic having held onto the top spot since November 2012, and Murray having reclaimed the No. 2 ranking in May of 2013.
With Nadal and Fed going down early, Andy had a DREAM trip to the final ... while Joker found himself in a DOG FIGHT in the semi ... and, not surprisingly, was a bit flat in the final.
Not to mention the fact that Andy had a HUGE home-court advantage yesterday.
We'll see how Andy handles the PRESSURE at Flushing Meadows later this summer as the defending champ when everyone ... including a (hopefully) healthy Rafa ... will be gunning for his scalp.
Wouldn't be surprised if Andy reverts back to form and comes up short ... again...

You can only beat the guys who are put in front of you. It is hardly Murray's fault that the aging Federer and the injury-prone Nadal went out early. Neither is it Murray's fault that Djokovic made heavy weather of his semi-final.
