Andy Murray wary of Feliciano Lopez

Andy Murray has admitted that winning against Feliciano Lopez at the Australian Open on Saturday will not be easy.

The Brit will take on the 26th seed at the Hisense Arena in the third round of the tournament.

"I had a tough match with him at the US Open on the hard courts two years ago where he played well," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "I think it was 7-6 in the fourth set on a very, very hot day.

"He's got a great serve. He obviously comes to the net a bit and has a different game style to all of the guys nowadays.

"So that will, again, be another good test for me and naturally get tougher."

Murray has yet to drop a set in the tournament so far.
