It's tough to adjust to the first indoor match in a few months," said the Scot, who is seeded second here and begins his campaign against another former Aussie Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis today. World No 5 Murray said that he dealt with his straight-sets Melbourne defeat by good friend Novak Djokovic "pretty well," adding that it did not affect his desire to front up so soon after his Grand Slam loss. <br /><br />"I had always planned on playing here, Australia was a good start to the year. I would have liked to have gone one win further but I'm looking forward to the year ahead," added Murray, who won here in 2009.
