British number one Andy Murray has insisted that he will do his "best" to win the Australian Open after reaching the third round of the tournament.
The Scotsman, who is competing in his first major competition since recovering from back surgery, reached the next phase with a 6-2 6-2 7-5 win over Vincent Millot.
"This is a new tournament," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying. "I have been in the final here three times, I love it here, and I don't know if this will be my year but I will do my best.
"Millot played unbelievably in that third set, hitting winners from the baseline. I had to adjust the way I was playing, and he's ranked 270 in the world. It just showed the depth in men's tennis.
"This heat, coming from Scotland, is not easy. It's been tough, very humid tonight and the court slowed down a lot, but I think we've passed the worst of the weather and hopefully it will now drop to an acceptable temperature."
The Wimbledon champion will take on Feliciano Lopez in the next round.
