Murray has reached the final five times on the blue hardcourts at Melbourne Park and lost every one, four to the man who preceded him as world number one, Novak Djokovic

Murray, who already holds the OBE, has previously ruled himself out of a knighthood, saying that he was too young for the honour.

Milos Raonic’s withdrawal from the semis gave the Scotsman a bye into the final, and a fresh Murray – who has to wait until Monday before officially being named as the world’s best player – came out on top against Isner 6-3 6-7(4) 6-4 to maintain his impressive streak
