Murray on potential of facing Federer or Djokovic at Australian Open: ‘I wouldn’t be expecting myself to win’

Despite that, Murray is honest with his chances in Melbourne; he said that he could play Federer or Djokovic early which he doesn’t think at this stage, he’d win.

He said that the best he can hope for in that situation; is that he can get through it with no ill effects on his hip.

"When I get to the Australian Open I won’t be seeded; I’m ranked around 120 in the world right now.

I could play [Roger] Federer in the first round, or [Novak] Djokovic, I wouldn’t be expecting myself to win that match; in a first best of five back. I have no idea what to expect result wise; but what would be positive for me would be playing through a best-of-five match without having a problem with my hip,” said Murray.

“I haven’t played a best-of-five match since I had the operation", continued Murray. "A good result would be that I can play a best-of-five-set match and have no ill effects from that with my hip. That would be a huge step and a really positive thing for me.
