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.
‘This is a really important year for me for a number of reasons’ the former world No 1 said. ‘Tonight is not good enough in that respect. You know, making second round of slams is not something I find particularly motivating.’
