World number one Andy Murray will be seeking a first Australian Open title this year, having lost the final five times since 2010.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at the 29-year-old Scot's Melbourne final heartbreak.
2010, Roger Federer (6-3 6-4 7-6)
Murray, ranked fifth in the world at the time and had an excellent tournament. He dropped one set on the route up to the final, defeating Rafael Nadal and Marin Cilic along the way. However, the Swiss proved too strong in the final, outclassing Murray in straight sets. Federer's experience shone through in his performance, whereas Murray's inexperience brought out nerves and tension - playing predictable, risk-free tennis which was easy for the world's top ranked player to play against.
2011, Novak Djokovic (6-4 6-2 6-3)
Andy Murray breezed into the quarter-finals having only lost 22 games, without dropping a single set. He battled his way through to the final by defeating Alexandr Dolgopolov and David Ferrer but once again was second best in the final. This time it was a different opponent in Novak Djokovic but the outcome was the same, losing in straight sets. It was the Scot's third Grand Slam final and he failed to win a single set in all three.
2013, Novak Djokovic (6-7 7-6 6-3 6-2)
Murray was seeking revenge on Djokovic after the 2011 final but also the 2012 semi-final as the Serb came out on top in a thrilling five-set encounter - Murray led 2-1 up but could not see the game out. The Scot returned in 2013 in fine form, comfortably making it to the semi-final without dropping a set, winning a five-set semi against Roger Federer. Murray took the first set in the final but squandered five break points to take an early advantage in the second set. He paid as Djokovic won the next three sets to become the first man in the 'Open' era to win the tournament three times in a row.
2015, Novak Djokovic (7-6 6-7 6-3 6-0)
It was the third time Murray had met Djokovic in the Australian Open final and the Serb continued to be Murray's worst nightmare. The opening two sets both went to a tie-break in which both players came through one set each. Murray had chances in the third set but failed to take them and went on get whitewashed in the final set.
2016, Novak Djokovic (6-1 7-5 7-6)
The final included many mistakes from both players but unfortunately for Murray, he made too many which also proved too costly. Djokovic came out on top in straight sets and equalled Roy Emerson's all-time men's record of six Australian Open singles titles. Murray became only the second man to lose five finals at the same Grand Slam tournament since the 'Open' era began in 1968.
