   Third consecutive match between these two players in Melbourne, and the third one concluded after a 5-setter! In the 1st set Wawrinka led 4:3 with a break. He trailed 0:2* (0/15) in the 4th set. Djokovic & Wawrinka had created the sixth Open Era pair of players to contest against each other five-set matches five times, however, it’s the first case that one player had beaten the other one 4 times in this type of matches: (Jimmy Connors vs. John McEnroe 3-2, Stefan Edberg vs. Ivan Lendl 3-2, Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer 3-2, Stan Smith vs. Ilie Nastase 3-2 & Andreas Seppi vs. Denis Istomin 3-2)… Later on, Djokovic also defeats Federer for the fourth time in a five-set encounter while Federer defeats Nadal in their sixth five-setter.

   Their 5 five-setters:
   Davis Cup 2006: Djokovic d. Wawrinka 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 7-6(3), 6-4… 3 hours 50 minutes… Total points: 147-147
   Aussie Open 2013 (4R): Djokovic d. Wawrinka 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7(5), 12-10… 5 hours 2 minutes… Total points: 209-200
