Nick Kyrgios was beaten on his singles comeback in Brisbane and cast doubt on his Australian Open hopes but Novak Djokovic sent new coach Andy Murray a positive message with a comfortable victory.
Murray will join his old rival for the Australian Open next month, and Djokovic revealed the Scot is following his progress from the ski slopes after beating Australian Rinky Hijikata 6-3 6-3 in the first round of the Brisbane International.
