Looking back at Novak Djokovic's 7 Australian Open titles

#4 2013: Beats Andy Murray 6-7(2), 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-2

In 2013, Djokovic became the first player to win three consecutive Australian Open titles

Djokovic and Murray met in the Australian Open final for the second time in three years as the pair locked horns with the 2013 edition of the title on the line.

Murray was full of confidence following a five-set win over Federer in the semifinals. And that confidence reflected in the Scot's early play as he escaped five break points to grab the opening set on a tiebreak and surge to a one-set advantage.

Djokovic escaped a 0-40 opening on his serve in the first game of the second and did not look back from there. In an intensely physical set, Murray was hindered by blisters and Djokovic conceded only three points in the ensuing tiebreak to restore parity at a set apiece.

The first break of the match came Djokovic's way, 2 hours 53 minutes into an absorbing contest, as Murray fell behind 3-4 in the third. The Serb promptly consolidated his break to take a two sets to one lead.

He reeled off eight of the next nine games to stamp his ascendancy on the match. Murray won just two games in the fourth as Djokovic became the first player in the Open Era to win three consecutive Australian Open titles.

In the process, Djokovic moved level with Roger Federer and Andre Agassi (4 apiece) for most titles at the tournament in the Open Era.

#5 2015: Beats Andy Murray 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-0

Djokovic wins his 5th Australian Open title in 2015

After beating defending champion Stan Wawrinka and Tomas Berdych in five and four sets respectively, Djokovic and Murray in 2015 became the first pair to meet in three Australian Open finals in the Open Era. And the outcome on the day, like on the two other occasions, would not be any different.

Djokovic was faster off the blocks, bursting to a 4-1 lead, before Murray twice recovered breaks to force a tiebreak. He led 4-2 in the breaker before the Serb won 5 of the next 6 points to take the opener.

Following an early exchange of breaks, the second set also required a tiebreak. This time Murray did not relinquish a 5-2 lead, as he evened the contest at a set apiece.

Murray grabbed an early break to open the third but that would be as good as it would get on the night for him. The Scot's serve proved to be a huge liability; he would win just two of the next 12 games as Djokovic sprinted across the finish line to become the first player in the Open Era to win five Australian Open titles.

Murray also became the first to lose his first four finals at the tournament.
