Andy Murray earned himself the opportunity to gain some revenge for what happened at Wimbledon last year after an almost uninterrupted cruise into the last 16 of the Australian Open. The world No 6 now gets a shot at gifted Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov after swatting away Portugal's Joao Sousa like he was one of the irritating flies one finds in these parts. Murray took two hours and six minutes to overcome the world No 55 6-1 6-1 7-5, and now has a match against the player who knocked him out of last summer's SW19 quarter-final in straight sets.
