Andy Murray hoping for improved performance at Australian Open

British number one Andy Murray declares himself pleased with his performance against Yuki Bhambri, but admits that there is still more to come.

Andy Murray is hopeful that he can push on from his victory over Yuki Bhambri as he seeks a third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

The sixth seed failed to hit his top form in this morning's first-round match on the Margaret Court Arena, although he recovered from a shaky start to claim a 6-3 6-4 7-6 win.

Following his triumph Murray, a Melbourne finalist on three previous occasions, admitted that there was still room for improvement as he prepares for the next round.

"I thought it was a good start," the British number one told BBC Sport. "I thought he played well; he was very aggressive and he was right up on the baseline the whole match.

"That made it difficult because it didn't give me much rhythm or a lot of time. But I thought I served very well the whole match - that was the most pleasing thing for me. Hopefully I'll get a little bit better and a bit quicker after my serve and after my returns."

Murray will take on Australia's Marinko Matosevic in the second round on Wednesday.
