Murray to face Djokovic again

tennis

On Friday Andy Murray will face 24-year-old Novak Djokovic for the 12th time. The Serb tennis player holds a 7-4 winning record and he won in their latest match, a five-set exciting match in Melbourne in January that lasted almost five hours during which the two players showed all their skills.

"I would like to get the chance to play him again," Murray said. "I had a great tennis match with him in Australia, and hopefully can reverse the result tomorrow. Any time you get a win against the number one player in the world it's important, because you don't get a chance to play them that often."

Djokovic and Murray are two of the four tennis players who rule the game of tennis together with Swiss Roger Federer and Spanish player Rafael Nadal. Murray is the junior partner in the group. He has been defeated in all three Grand Slam finals he has reached, while Federer has 16 Grand Slam titles and Nadal 10.

Djokovic has already won five titles and will play the French Open trying to become the first male player to win all four grand slam titles since Australian player Rod Laver in 1969. "Every time you play, especially top four, it's a big challenge for both of us, especially after that Australian Open's thrilling match," Djokovic commented about his match against Murray.
