Muddled Murray meets his match

By Reuters | China Daily | Updated: 2017-01-23 06:59

Andy Murray's hopes of finally getting his hands on the Australian Open title were ended for another year when the top seed and world No 1 was tied up in knots and flung out of the fourth round by Germany's Mischa Zverev on Sunday.

With reigning champ Novak Djokovic having been knocked out in the second round, a Grand Slam will head into the second week without its top two men's seeds for the first time since the 2004 French Open.

Zverev, in the fourth round at a Grand Slam for the first time after a career ravaged by injury, flummoxed Murray with his unorthodox serve-volley game and broke the Wimbledon and Olympic champion eight times.
