Murray cool as a cucumber as temperature hits 32°C
Mad Dog and Scotsman battle it out in the midday sun
Andy Murray barely broke a sweat and kept his cool on the hottest day of the Australian Open yesterday as he strolled into the third round.
In temperatures over 32°C, Murray cooly beat Marinko Matosevic 6-1 6-3 6-2 in under two hours.
The Scot’s opponent was nicknamed “Mad Dog” but resembled more of a cute puppy as he rolled over easily without letting out much of a bark.
