Dimitrov "really ready" to face Murray

Grigor Dimitrov has said that he is feeling "really ready" for his fourth-round Australian Open match against Andy Murray.

Murray is a three-time finalist in Melbourne, but the Bulgarian, who is seeded 10th at this year's tournament, knocked him out at Wimbledon last year.

The 23-year-old told reporters: "I'm feeling really ready, and I like my chances every time I go out on the court. It's going to be a great matchup.

"Adding up the new team, it's all fresh. It's going to give him a bit more excitement to compete, which I'm certainly aware of. But in the same time, I feel that I'm pretty stable around me as well.

"We always had good battles. We know how we play, so there's no secrets out on the court, which is in a way nice to have. At least you know what to expect. It's going to come down to those kind of little moments that we can use."

Dimitrov reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open for the first time in 2014.
