Australian Open 2021: Novak Djokovic faces Daniil Medvedev in men's final

Novak Djokovic goes for a record-extending ninth Australian Open title on Sunday as Russia's Daniil Medvedev attempts to end the Serb's dominance and win his first Grand Slam.

The world number one, who has won all eight of his previous Melbourne finals, is aiming for an 18th major title.

Djokovic trails Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who have 20 each, in the fight to finish with the most men's Slams.

"He has more experience but more things to lose than me," said Medvedev.

"I don't have a lot of pressure because Novak has never lost here in the final.
