MELBOURNE - Third seed Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray 6-4 6-2 6-3 to win his second Australian Open on Sunday, prolonging Britain's 75-year wait for a male grand slam singles champion.

Eye-balling Murray with intent across the net, Serbia's Davis Cup hero completely dominated the Scot who has now lost all three of his grand slam finals without winning a set.

Djokovic, who lifted his only previous major title in Melbourne three years ago, got off to a scorching start in energy-sapping heat supposed to favour fifth seed Murray.

Relentless pressure forced a forehand error from Murray, giving Djokovic the first set against last year's Australian Open runner-up who played with a tired, hang-dog look throughout a surprisingly one-sided match.

Murray, rattled by noise and berating himself angrily, began to unravel in the second set, screaming at his own coaching team to "be quiet".

A fired-up Djokovic took a strangehold on the final by ripping another big forehand down the line, a dejected Murray slumping in his chair muttering to himself in despair.

Djokovic went for the jugular, breaking for 3-1 in the third set with a breath-taking backhand down the line, the Serbian pumping his fists and roaring with delight.

Murray immediately broke back but Djokovic, ice in his veins, blasted a forehand cross court to go 5-3 up and finished the job with another forehand the Scot could only dump into the net after two hours 39 minutes.

Djokovic celebrated by throwing his racket, shirt and shoes into the crowd as a packed Rod Laver Arena went wild.

Murraywas bidding to become Britain's first male grand slam winner since Fred Perry in 1936.

He lost the 2008 US Open final and last year's Melbourne final in straight sets, both times to Roger Federer.

墨尔本公园拒绝新的王者。昨晚的澳网男单决赛，德约科维奇3比0横扫穆雷摘得第二个大满贯。穆雷则三进大满贯决赛却未能拿下一盘，英国人75年的大满贯梦仍在继续。

在两人此前的7次交手中，小德4胜3负稍占上风。从比赛首盘走势看，这将是一场势均力敌的拉锯战，仅仅是穆雷的首个发球局就用了15分钟。均势一直到第10局才被打破，在一个超过38个回合的多拍拉锯战中，穆雷以一个失误结束，士气由此大受影响。小德趁机破发，6比4先下一盘。

首盘意外失利让穆雷大受影响，第2盘中前半段几无斗志，比分很快就被拉开到了0比5。此后尽管拿下两局，但已于事无补，穆雷仅在第2盘就送出13个非受迫性失误。第3盘中，穆雷状态有所回升，但其防守至上的打法抵抗不住小德的一次次进攻，最终3比6完败。

“我尝试去追赶比分，并且相信自己能够逆转。但诺瓦克（小德）的防守太出色了，我很难找到得分点。”穆雷不认为自己少休息了一天影响了比赛，他说肾上腺素会帮你，“我在第3盘完成两次破发，可还是3比6输了，我努力了。”

这是小德职业生涯第二个大满贯冠军，2008年他曾在澳网决赛中战胜特松加。赢球后的小德感谢了一堆人，包括教练、父亲、兄弟、女朋友，还有给予过他倾力支持和鼓励的塞尔维亚人民。
