Andy Murray is excited about what the future holds with new coach Ivan Lendl after preparing perfectly for the Australian Open with victory in the Brisbane International.

The British number one cruised to a 6-1 6-3 win over Ukrainian Alexander Dolgopolov in the final, in front of the watching Lendl.

“It's very exciting,” said Murray. “He is obviously one of the greatest players ever to play so he should bring a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge.

“He has a great understanding of how to prepare for big events both physically and mentally.

“We have spent six or seven days together and really enjoyed it.” Tweet
