- Japanese player wins 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 at Melbourne Park
- Daniel is lowest-ranked opponent to beat Murray at slam
Andy Murray’s Australian Open came to a disappointing end with a second-round defeat in straight sets by the world No 120 Taro Daniel – the lowest-ranked opponent ever to beat him at a grand slam.
Hopes were high that Murray could have another strong run in Melbourne when he ground out a five-set win over Nikoloz Basilashvili in round one, three years after it appeared his career had ended on the same court.
