Andy Murray almost sprinted out of his post-match press conference to catch a 1am flight out of Melbourne following yet another Australian Open defeat against Novak Djokovic.

While on court, Murray had done his best to delay his departure to get back home to see his heavily pregnant wife Kim Sears, at least after a poor first set from which he could not recover.

The opener took just half an hour but the next two sets spanned two hours and 23 minutes before the Scot went down 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 to the world No 1.
