MELBOURNE, Australia - Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, contesting the Australian Open final on Sunday, are both members of the so-called Big Four of mens tennis, the group which has dominated Grand Slam titles for most of the past decade led by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.At the Australian Open, the gulf between Djokovic and Murray is wide — the No. 1-ranked Djokovic has won the title each of the four times he has reached the championship match, while Murray has lost all three of his finals at Melbourne Park.Two of those losses final were to Djokovic — in 2011 and 2013. Overall, Djokovic has a 15-8 edge in career matches.In the mixed doubles final which will precede the mens title match, five-time Grand Slam singles winner Martina Hingis and Leander Paes of India will play Kristina Mladenovic of France and Daniel Nestor of Canada.Here are some things to watch in the mens final Sunday:___POTENTIAL RANKINGS: Order has been restored in the Big Four with Murray reaching the final. He could go to No. 3, supplanting Nadal, if he wins. He was No. 6 when the tournament began. Djokovic will remain at No.1 and Federer at No. 2. There was naturally a lot of talk about the change of generation, new players coming in ... that the four guys that youre referring to will not be the top four anymore, says seven-time major winner Djokovic. So I still think that (these) four guys still have the best chances to win all the Grand Slam titles.___GETTING THERE: Djokovic didnt drop a set through his first five matches, beating the likes of Fernando Verdasco, Gilles Muller and Milos Raonic before needing five sets to beat defending champion Stan Wawrinka in the semifinals. Murray had a tough four-setter in beating Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round, defeated local hope Nick Kyrgios in the quarterfinals and then played his best match of the tournament by beating Tomas Berdych in an acrimonious four-set semifinal. Murrays former coach is now working with Berdych and things got of hand on several occasions on the court and off when Murrays fiancée, Kim Sears, was shown on TV apparently uttering profanities.___NOVAK SPEAKS: On his domination of Murray: The record I have in finals here in Australia can serve maybe as a slight mental edge, but not much. I dont think hes going to feel that on the court. Im sure hes going to be very motivated to win his first title here. Im going to, of course, give my best that that doesnt happen.On his friendship with Murray: Ive known him for a long time, so its great we are able to challenge each other now in another Grand Slam final. The fact we know each other since 11, 12, there is only a week difference between us, in age.On what he expects from Murray in the final: He goes for his shots, hes one of the best defenders in the game ... an incredible counter-puncher. I think if he serves well, thats a huge confidence boost and advantage for him.___ANDY SPEAKS: On the Djokovic-Wawrinka semifinal: I didnt watch any of the match last night, but Im going to watch the parts of the match that I want to watch this evening, get all of the stats that I think will be beneficial and go over it. But I didnt really want to sit for 3 or 3-12 hours last night worrying about the match.On talking down his chances: I know its going to be extremely difficult to win the match. I know if I want to win, it will probably be very, very tough and challenging physically. He obviously loves the court and the conditions. And, yeah, it would be a big upset if I manage to win tomorrow.On a more positive note: I feel like Im playing well again. Obviously anytime youre moving up the rankings suggests youre doing something well. Hopefully ... I can try and have some consistent, solid results, re-establish myself back at the top of the game, and have another good year. Discount Raiders Jerseys .

Most times, they simply pummel teams into submission. Indiana plays ugly, and ugly usually wins. "No style points," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "None. Zero." Paul George scored 16 points, Roy Hibbert made a putback and two free throws in the final 1:09 and the Pacers turned to their defence to hold off Clevelands late rally for an 82-78 win over the short-handed Cavaliers. The Pacers led by 16 in the fourth before guard Dion Waiters brought Cleveland back by scoring 12 straight points in a 16-1 run that got the Cavs within 75-74 with 3:35 left. Hibberts free throw with 7.9 seconds left put the Pacers up 81-78, and Indiana got the ball back when Cavs forward Earl Clark stepped on the sideline on a poorly executed inbounds play with 6.9 left. David West made one free throw with 5.4 seconds remaining, and the Pacers escaped with their seventh win in eight games. At 27-6, Indiana has the NBAs best record -- now thats pretty. "We didnt finish the game the right way," West said. "They hung around and made some shots, but our defence held strong." C.J. Miles scored 21 and Waiters had 14 for the Cavaliers, who played their third game in a row without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving. He has a bruised knee and his backup, Jarrett Jack, sat with back spasms. The Pacers had to grind this one out after taking control with 14-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters. "I know coach is going to be on us about giving up a big lead, but we know how to play in that situation," George said. "Weve been through that before. The best thing for us is to stay together and we were able to hold them off the last couple of possessions." Lance Stephenson made a 3-pointer as Indiana closed the third with a 7-0 run and then extended the lead to 16 by opening the fourth with another 7-0 burst capped by Danny Grangers 3. Thats when Waiters, the subject of trade rumours for weeks, brought the Cavs back. He reeled off 12 in a row and fed Anderson Varejao with two nice assists to get the Cavs within 79-78. Hibbert split a pair of freee throws, but on Clevelands next trip, Waiters missed a 3 and then forced a layup in traffic.dddddddddddd Hibberts free throw gave the Pacers a two-point cushion, but Cleveland couldnt execute a simple inbounds pass without a turnover and West put it away with his late free throw. "Its another tough loss," Waiters said. "We fought back. We never put our heads down when they went up 16. These kinds of losses hurt because we were right there. Weve been there all year long, and once we find a way to close these games out well be really good." Hibbert added 15 points and West 11 for the Pacers, who shot just 36 per cent from the floor, but played their typically stout defence. Indiana has won nine straight over Cleveland and 15 of 16. Tristan Thompson added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavs, who have reportedly been involved in talks with the Los Angeles Lakers for a trade involving Andrew Bynum for Pau Gasol. The enigmatic Bynum was recently dismissed from the team for detrimental conduct and the Cavs would like to deal or release the 7-footer by Tuesday, when his contract will be guaranteed. The injury-ravaged Lakers would consider bringing back Bynum -- he spent seven seasons with Los Angeles -- so they could cut him, clear salary-cap space and avoid paying the luxury tax. The Pacers, who fell behind by 14 before rallying to beat New Orleans on Saturday, shot only 37 per cent in the first half but used a 9-2 spurt to close the second quarter and lead 44-35 at the break. NOTES: Indiana came in allowing a league-low 88.9 points per game. ... Cavs coach Mike Brown would not comment on the trade rumours swirling around his team, and particularly about Bynum, who was banned from all team activities on Dec. 28. Waiters and Varejao have both been mentioned in various deals. ... Vogel says his team is a target every time it takes the floor. "Its not so much that theyre gunning for us," he said. "I think everybody looks at us and says, If we beat the Pacers,
