Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray faced each other 36 times throughout their tennis careers, mostly in finals and often at the business end of a grand slam. But at this year’s Australian Open, their decades-long rivalry has taken an unexpected turn.

Novak Djokovic admits breaking Roger Federer’s Grand Slam match record “caught him by surprise” as he also gave his current rivals a warning.
