Murray to open against qualifier
Andy Murray will open his 2006 campaign against qualifier Paolo Lorenzi
at the Adelaide International, with Lleyton Hewitt a possible last eight
opponent.
If he wins his first match, he will play sixth seed Tomas Berdych in
the second round, after the Czech beat Agustin Calleri 6-4 6-7 6-4.
Murray, 18, will be making his competitive debut in Australia.
He said: "My goal is to reach the top 20 by the end of the year so I'm hoping
to do well early in the season."
Murray finished last year as the world number 64 and British number three.
And on his first ever visit to Australia, he admits that the conditions will
take some getting used to.
"I've been practising in South Africa where it was 25 degrees and now I've
come here and yesterday was like the hottest day in ten years for me," he
said.
"The qualifiers are supposedly the weakest in the draw but they've already
got three matches under their belt and got used to the hot weather.
"This is a very tough tournament and I'll have to win many matches before
there is a chance of playing Hewitt."
