Australian Open LIVE Results: Andy Murray crashes out- Former world No.1 Andy Murray dream of winning the Australian Open ended on Thursday. He suffered a heavy defeat to Qualifier Taro Daniel (World No.120) in the second round.

Perhaps still feeling the effects of his gruelling five-set battle in the opening round on Tuesday, the 34-year-old Scot looked out of sorts as his inspired Japanese opponent bounced along the baseline firing winner after winner.

Former world number one Murray showed no more than flashes of the brilliant tennis that got him to five Australian Open finals as he made 34 unforced errors over the first two sets on John Cain Arena.

To the delight of the crowd, Murray edged ahead at 2-0 in the third set but Daniel broke back immediately and 45 minutes later had booked his first Grand Slam third-round tie against Steve Johnson or Jannik Sinner.

Game 1: Daniel claims first set 6-4 against Murray.

Game 2: Daniel beats Murray 6-4, the qualifier is on song

Taro Daniel played fellow qualifier Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera in the first round and defeated him in straight sets 7-6(1), 6-1, 6-1. The Japanese is entering the second round of the Australian Open for the second time in his career. Before the Australian Open, Daniel has played Adelaide International, where he bowed out in the round of 16.
