2015 Australian Open
Champion	Novak Djokovic
Runner-up	Andy Murray
Final score	7–6^(7–5), 6–7^(4–7), 6–3, 6–0

Stan Wawrinka was the defending champion, but he lost in the semifinals to Novak Djokovic. Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic contested the final for the third time, having met for the title in 2011 and 2013 with Djokovic winning both times.

Djokovic went on to win his fifth Australian Open title by defeating Murray once again, 7–6^(7–5), 6–7^(4–7), 6–3, 6–0. The defeat saw Murray lose the Australian Open final for the fourth time in his career, becoming the first man in the Open Era to achieve four runner-up finishes in Melbourne.^[1][2]

Roger Federer's streak of eleven consecutive Australian Open semifinals ended when he lost to Andreas Seppi in the third round. The defeat marked Federer's earliest exit from the tournament since 2001.^[3][4]

Nick Kyrgios became the first teenager to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals since Andrei Cherkasov in 1990 and the first Australian to reach that round since Lleyton Hewitt in 2005.^[5] Kyrgios also became the first teenager to reach a second Grand Slam quarterfinal since Rafael Nadal in 2006.
