Novak Djokovic confident ahead of Australian Open final

Novak Djokovic has admitted that his recent record against Andy Murray provides him with a lot of confidence going into the final of the Australian Open.

The world number one has won seven of his last eight meetings against the Scot, and has also recorded victories over the 27-year-old in two finals in Melbourne.

Djokovic told reporters: "I think we know each other pretty well. I'm sure we both know what to expect from each other's game.

"The fact that I won last seven out of eight matches, of course it's going to serve as a great confidence booster coming into the match."

Djokovic can win the eighth Grand Slam title of his career with victory over Murray later today.
