Murray aims for Melbourne glory

Andy Murray will play the Dutchman Robin Haase in the first round of the Australian Open as he attempts to win the second Grand Slam title of his career.

Murray, 5/2 with bet365 to win this year's Australian Open, has played the world number 54 on two previous occasions, losing once but beating Haase in five sets at the 2011 US Open. The Scot lost to Novak Djokovic in the Melbourne final in 2011 but finally clinched his first Grand Slam title four months ago when he edged past the Serb in the final of the US Open. Murray said: "I've performed consistently here and have been in two Grand Slam finals here in the last few years, but I'm aiming to go one better this year." Djokovic, 1/1 to retain his title, plays the Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu in round one, and is seeded to face David Ferrer in the semi-finals.
