The 2015 Australian Open men's final features a familiar face in top seed Novak Djokovic, the champion of the tournament in three of the past four years. Andy Murray is the other participant, having endured a gauntlet of a draw to get here as the No. 6 seed.

It's as if Amélie has helped him to control his perfectionism. The other thing you notice is how much they speak on the court, whereas Ivan would just stand and watch.

That added mental edge is something Murray need...
