Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will be in a familiar situation on Sunday morning when they collide in the men's singles final of the 2015 Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.

Djokovic and Murray will collide for the first Grand Slam title of the year. Heading into their fourth Australian Open title match, the top-seeded Serb is favored to win over his British rival based on their recent matches.

Djokovic, who is looking to win his fifth Australian Open title and 10th Grand Slam of his career, holds a 15-8 advantage in their head-to-head matchups, and has won in seven of their last eight meetings.

"I'm sure we both know what to expect from each other's game," Djokovic said via New York Times. "The fact that I won last seven out of eight matches, of course it's going to serve as a great confidence booster coming into the match."

While he is oozing with confidence heading into the match, Djokovic insisted that there is no clear-cut favorite in the final. The 27-year-old defeated Murray in the 2011 and 2013 finals, and 2012 semifinals, but Djokovic insisted that the situation is different compared to their previous meetings at Melbourne Park because Murray is playing at a high level as of late.

"There's no clear favorite," Djokovic said. "I think the way he's been playing, he already knows what it takes to win a Grand Slam title. On the other hand, I'm going to try to use also my own experience and of course motivation to eventually get my hands on the title as well."

Murray disagreed, though, saying he expects a very tough match as Djokovic is obviously favored to win on Sunday because the nine-time Grand Slam champion has dominated him in their recent matches.

"I played him a couple times very close the end of last year and lost pretty comfortably. For me it would be a big turnaround in a few months if I was able to win. I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it's going to be very, very tough," said Murray, who is looking win his third Grand Slam title and first Australian Open.

The Djokovic-Murray match is scheduled to start around 3:30 a.m. EST after the mixed doubles finals, featuring Kristina Mladenovic and Daniel Nestor against Martina Hingis and Leander Paes. The matches will be shown live on ESPN and though online live stream via WatchESPN and Australian Open Live.
