Australian Open 2017: Andy Murray beats Sam Querrey to reach round four

Top seed Andy Murray made short work of American Sam Querrey to reach the fourth round at the Australian Open.

The Briton, 29, won 6-4 6-2 6-4 on the Hisense Arena, the third show court at Melbourne Park.

Murray, who hopes to finally win the title after finishing runner-up five times, goes on to face Germany's Mischa Zverev, the world number 50.

Fellow Briton Dan Evans takes on Australian 27th seed Bernard Tomic later on Friday.

"I felt better and better as the match went on in terms of my movement," said Murray, who had turned his ankle during his previous match.
