Where to Watch The 2016 Australian Open men's and women's singles finals live
Tennis fans around the world will get to see a repeat of last year's Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, in the Men's Singles final of the Australian Open 2016 as well.
The fate of the Men's Singles second semi-final game was decided in a gruelling five-setter, and Friday's contest at the Rod Laver Arena was hotter than the first Men's Singles semi-final of the comepetition between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer on Thursday. Murray, 28, fought hard to record a 4-6, 7-5, 6-7(4-7), 6-4, 6-2 win over Milos Raonic.
Raonic was the man directing the game in every aspect, but last year's Australian Open runner-up Murray was showing all his Grand Slam experience and was never willing to back down.
Looking ahead to the final on Sunday, Murray stays hopeful of a turnaround. "There are a lot of things that are important playing against the best in the world [like Djokovic]. You cannot afford to do anything poorly. Novak loves this court and we have played here a bunch of times and hopefully this time it can be a different result," he said.
22nd Grand Slam title and level pegging with Steffi Graf is what Serena Williams will target when she walks into the Rod Laver Arena to play in the Australian Open women's singles final against Angelique Kerber, the girl who idolised the legendary German growing up.
Just like a final appearance for Novak Djokovic is a foregone conclusion at the moment, the same can be said of Serena as well, with the American one win away from defending her Australian Open title and with it equalling Graf's record of 22 Grand Slam titles in the Open era. Margaret Court holds the overall record with 24, which Serena will be targeting with a win at Wimbledon, if all goes according to plan.
The way things are going, there is nothing to suggest the 34-year-old American powerhouse will have to alter those plans, such is her dominance in the sport. The only time she looked slightly troubled in this 2016 Australian Open was in the first round, against Camila Giorgi, with that match also won in straight sets.
So, it goes without saying that the American has waltzed into the final without dropping a single set, with quarterfinal and semifinal wins over Maria Sharapova and Agnieszka Radwanska respectively, particularly impressive.
