Andy Murray has paid tribute to Novak Djokovic following his defeat to the Serb in the Australian Open final.
Murray was beaten in four sets on Sunday as Djokovic clinched his fifth title in Melbourne.
The Brit has now lost all four of the finals that he has played in at the Australian Open.
"I would like to congratulate Novak - it is a fantastic record and thoroughly deserved," Murray is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"It is probably my most consistent Grand Slam throughout my career but I just haven't been able to win. I'll try to come back next year and have a slightly different outcome in the final."
Djokovic's latest Grand Slam triumph has seen him take his tally to eight overall.
