Andy Murray shares "reality check" dropping daughter off at school after Australian Open

One of Andy Murray's young children has given him a "tough" reality check following the Scot's incredible efforts at the Australian Open.

The three-time Grand Slam champion exited in the third round at Melbourne, but that stat doesn't even begin to tell the story of his marathon showings Down Under. In his first round match, Murray rolled back the years by going for more than five hours to beat 13th seed Matteo Berrettini in five sets.

But that was nothing compared to his second round win, which signified the longest match of the 35-year-old's distinguished career. Trailing by two sets to home favourite Thanasi Kokkinakis, Murray launched an amazing comeback, with the clock running past 4am before he eventually prevailed in five hours 45 minutes.
