Second Serve

 



Andy Murray showed why he is known as one of the best runners in the sport on Day 1 of the Australian Open, when he ran a country mile before flicking this beautifully angled crosscourt winner past Yuki Bhambri for a winner.

“He was coming forward a lot,” Murray said of Bhambri. “Even when I was hitting good returns, he was changing the direction of the ball very quickly and coming to the net. He played well up at the net. He had good hands, solid volleys and made it tough.”

Murray, a three-time finalist in Melbourne, notched a 6-3 6-4 7-6(3) win over Bhambri to set up a second-round encounter with Australia’s Marinko Matosevic.

“I know Marinko very well,” Murray said. “I get on well with him … He's a good ball striker. Big guy. Serves well. He works extremely hard. He has a good work ethic. Yeah, [it will] be a fun match.
