Andy Murray to face Indian qualifier at Australian Open

World number six Andy Murray will open his Australian Open campaign against Indian qualifier Yuki Bhambri on Monday.

Andy Murray has been handed a first-round contest with qualifier Yuki Bhambri at the Australian Open.

Friday's draw had revealed that Murray would face one of a number of players who had come through three qualifying matches ahead of the first Grand Slam of the year.

British compatriot Kyle Edmund was a possible opponent, but instead, the world number six will play Bhambri, who currently sits 308 places below the Scot in the ATP standings.

The tie will take place on the opening day of the tournament on Monday, with the match scheduled to get underway at 2am GMT.
