Australian Open 2024: Andy Murray plays Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Naomi Osaka makes Melbourne return

'I won't be out there giggling on the court' - Murray wants to manage important moments better in 2024

Andy Murray hopes to avoid another marathon match when he starts his latest Australian Open campaign against Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Five-time finalist Murray, 36, plays 30th seed Etcheverry at about 16:30 local time in Melbourne (05:30 GMT).

The pair played for over three hours in their two meetings last year, both of which were played across three sets.

"I made most of my matches quite physical last year. I don't know if it was necessarily him," Murray joked.
