Australian Open 2015 Men's Final: TV Schedule, Start Time and Live Stream Info

Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are the last two standing in the men's draw at the 2015 Australian Open and will meet for the third time in a Melbourne final on Sunday.

The Scot will be hoping it is a case of third time lucky for him having lost to Djokovic in two previous finals at Melbourne Park in 2011 and 2013.

Murray also came up short against Roger Federer in 2010's final but has looked close to his best again in this year's tournament.

Djokovic will be going for a fifth Australian Open title having never lost in a final of the year's first Grand Slam.

While Murray was resting on Friday having booked his place in the final with a last-four victory in four sets over Tomas Berdych on Thursday, Djokovic was, yet again, being taken the distance by Stan Wawrinka in the second semi-final.

The world No. 1 eventually prevailed against the defending Melbourne champion, but for the third time in as many years, the pair went to five sets, per B/R UK:

While Djokovic's powers of recovery are such that Murray is unlikely to gain any physical advantage come the final, the Serbian did not look at his inimitable best against Wawrinka.

As former female British No. 1 Anne Keothavong noted following the second semi-final, if Djokovic does not up his game on Sunday, Murray must be the favourite to claim victory:

However, it would surprise nobody if Djokovic did indeed kick up a gear or two against Murray and it is a somewhat daunting prospect that the nine-time Grand Slam champion has made it all the way to the final playing below his best—and only dropping two sets in the process.

Murray, though, has his own historical edge against Djokovic, having beaten him in their two other Grand Slam final meetings not at the Australian Open—Wimbledon in 2013, the US Open in 2012.

The No. 6 seed has certainly shown title-winning form in this year's tournament, form that has been eluding him since his back surgery in 2013.

He rallied from a first-set tiebreak loss against Berdych in Thursday's opener to take the match in four, with only one other set dropped in the tournament against Grigor Dimitrov.

Murray seems to have come into the new season with a renewed edge under coach Amelie Mauresmo, showing terrific aggression throughout the tournament.

As BBC Sport's Karthi Gnanasegaram suggests, that aggression will be vital against Djokovic and Murray will need a fast start on Sunday to gain the upper hand:

All that being said, Djokovic is still the favourite to prevail in the Melbourne final despite Murray arguably looking the better player throughout the tournament.

He is world No. 1 for a reason, he lives for the big moments, and has a phenomenal record at the Australian Open and leads Murray 15-8 in their career head-to-head.

In the 2011 Melbourne final, Djokovic slaughtered Murray in straight sets, in 2013 the Scot won the opener on a tiebreak, but went on to lose in four.

In 2015, a five-set classic could well be on the cards. But while Djokovic is the favourite to prevail and claim a fifth Melbourne title, Murray must not be discounted from a potential maiden Australian Open triumph.
