Andy Murray congratulates Novak Djokovic on an "incredible feat" after their meeting in the final of the Australian Open.

Andy Murray has hailed the "incredible" performances that Novak Djokovic has put in over the last 12 months.

The Scot was speaking after he had been beaten in straight sets by the world number one in the final of the Australian Open for a fourth time.

The result means that Djokovic has now won five of the last seven Grand Slam titles on offer.

"I feel like I've been here before. Congrats Novak. Six Australian Opens is an incredible feat. The last year has been incredible. Good job," Murray said during the trophy presentation.

Since beating him in the Wimbledon final in 2013, Murray has overcome the Serb just once in 12 meetings.
