MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will put friendship aside when they meet in today’s Australian Open final to decide who fills the power vacuum left by the early exits of Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer.
The two 23-year-olds, born a week apart, will contest the first grand slam final without the dominant pairing of men’s tennis since Djokovic beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Melbourne Park in 2008 to win his first, and to date only, major title.
