Andy Murray has said he will not have any qualms about who he faces in his quest for a maiden grand slam at the Australian Open (11/8 ‘Yes’ – Murray Wins A Grand Slam In 2010).

The British number one’s worst fears were confirmed on Friday when the draw for the opening major of 2010 was revealed, with Murray facing the unenviable task of potentially taking on three of the world’s top four players – including world number one Roger Federer and reigning Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal – at Melbourne Park (Murray 6/1 Murray Stage Of Elimination – Beaten Finalist).

The young Scot – who has never made it past the last 16 at the Australian Open – should breeze past a qualifier in his first-round, while either Marc Giquel or Simone Bolelli should not pose a problem in round two.

But it is in the later rounds, where Murray could face Nadal in the last eight, US open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the semi-finals before taking on Federer in the final, where the 22-year-old could come unstuck.

However, Murray accepts to have any chance of breaking his grand slam duck he must beat the best.

“If you get to the quarter-finals you’re going to have to beat the best players anyway,” he said.

“Maybe it will be one more than normal but you’re banking on the top four seeds getting to the quarter-finals and you never know.

“There are always some surprises in there and I need to make sure I get there myself first.”
