World No. 1 Sir Andy Murray crashed out of the Australian Open after a shock loss to German Mischa Zverev on Sunday.
Murray was looking to add to his three Grand Slam titles, but his pursuit of a maiden Australian Open title will have to wait another year after Zverev’s 7-5 5-7 6-2 6-4 win.
It is Murray’s earliest exit at a Grand Slam since the 2015 US Open, when he lost in the fourth round to Kevin Anderson.
