Novak Djokovic's love affair with the Australian Open continued on Sunday.

Before kissing the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup for a record sixth time in the Open Era, the world No. 1 also paid his respects to the court where he has been so dominant in recent years.

The Serbian hugged his coach Boris Becker after beating Andy Murray to secure the 11th grand slam title of his career.

Becker had few worries Sunday as Djokovic beat Murray in straight sets. They have now won five grand slam titles together since Becker joined forces with Djokovic in 2014.

A familiar sight for Murray -- the world No. 2 has now lost all five finals he has played in Melbourne.

The British player beat Djokovic in the 2012 U.S. Open final and the 2013 Wimbledon title match, but has struggled to overcome his friend at grand slams since then.

Djokovic continued his relentless performances of late as he raced to a 2-0 in the best-of-five-set final.

Murray forced a tiebreaker in the third set, but Djokovic stormed back to clinch a 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) success -- ending the match with an ace.

He matched the six Australian Open titles won by Roy Emerson in the 1960s, when the tournament was an amateur event.
