From a player with all the shots to win majors, Lendl has tweaked Murray's mind to that of a champion too.

"We spoke again on the morning of the match and he basically said go out and work for every single point, that's your court, your fans are going to be behind you, just bring the title home, and I managed to do it."

With Murray and Djokovic both aged 26 and at the peak of their powers their rivalry looks set to dominate men's tennis, especially with Roger Federer showing signs of a slow decline and doubts over the durability of Rafa Nadal's knees.

Others like Juan Martin del Potro and Tomas Berdych are also threats but Murray is predicting plenty of exhausting battles ahead with old junior sparring partner Djokovic.

"I've known him since I was 12 and when we finish playing I'm sure we'll get on really well with each other but right now it's hard to be best of friends because these matches are so tough physically and mentally," Murray said.

"The matches we play are brutal and so physically challenging. It's nice we've know each other since we were kids and our parents have seen us kind of grow up together but it's hard playing against him."

Djokovic remains the world number one, for now, despite only having the Australian Open currently under his belt.

"It's tough," Murray said when asked if knocking Djokovic off his perch was a priority.

"Right now I hold two Slams, the Olympic gold and the final of another Slam and I'm still nowhere near number one in the world. The goal for me is to try and win the Grand Slams, win those tournaments and not worry too much about the ranking."
