Murray claims he has psychological edge

Andy Murray feels his come-from-behind victory against Jurgen Melzer at the US Open last year could give him the psychological edge when the pair meet again in the Australian Open tomorrow.

Murray, the world number four and one of the favourites at this year’s grand slam in Melbourne, was on the verge of losing to the Austrian left-hander in the third round at Flushing Meadows before rallying for a 6-7 (5/7) 4-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-1 6-3 win.
