Andy Murray

Andy Murray's Australian Open preparations got off to a poor start with a 6-3 6-4 defeat to Janko Tipsarevic in the opening match of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

The rain-affected match (3 drops of the stuff) was the opening contest of the exhibition tournament in the Emirati capital, which is played on outdoor hard courts and usually boasts the top six available players on the men's tour over 3 days. Nadal had to pull out due to a stomach virus.

No matter what, Calum enjoyed the matches.
