Murray expects Open fight from Kukushkin - In-form Scot Andy Murray is one of the few people not surprised he will be playing unseeded Kazakhstan youngster Mikhail Kukushkin in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Murray's progression was in line with expectations, his 6-4 6-2 6-0 rout of Frenchman Michael Llodra on Saturday night continuing the excellent form that has him on an unbeaten eight-match streak this year.
That run started in the Brisbane International against 24-year-old Kukushkin.
While Murray downed the Kazakh on that occasion, he had to fight back from a set down.
So the British title hope said it did not shock him that Kukushkin had eliminated seeds Serb Viktor Troicki and flashy Frenchman Gael Monfils, both in five-setters, to set up the fourth round meeting.
