'Not good enough': Murray dumped out by qualifier in Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Australia - "Frustrated" three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray was stunned by Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel in straight sets in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

"I'm really, really disappointed. Very frustrated. And, yeah, a tough loss for me. That's for sure," said veteran Murray, a former world number one."Making the second round of Slams is not something I find particularly motivating. I want to be doing better than that." "But not if I do what I did tonight too often this season," said the Briton, who had career-saving hip surgery in 2019.

Murray, ranked 113 and playing as a tournament wild card, didn't stick around afterwards and walked quickly from the court, showing great disappointment at his lost opportunity.But his five-set epic against big-hitting Georgian 21st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili left the veteran leaden-footed and he cut an irritable figure at times, even changing his shoes at one point to stem the tide.
