MELBOURNE, Australia - Two-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray beat Indian qualifier Yuki Bhambri 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) Monday to begin another quest to win an elusive Australian Open title.Playing in the newly refurbished Margaret Court Arena, Murray trailed 4-1 in the third set before coming back to level the set and then dominate Bhambri, the 2009 Australian Open junior champion, in the tiebreaker.Murray has reached the final of the Australian Open three times, losing to Roger Federer in 2010 and Novak Djokovic in 2011 and 2013.In between those losses to Djokovic, Murray won his first major at the 2012 U.S. Open and followed that up with a second Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon in 2013.Murray said it was a tricky match for him and that he was impressed with Bhambri, a 22-year-old former No. 1-ranked junior.He played very close to the baseline on that court, coming forward a lot, Murray said. Even when I was hitting good returns, he was changing the direction of the ball very quickly and coming to the net. He had good hands, solid volleys and made it tough.Murray practiced on the arenas new court two days ago when it was cloudy and cool. It was a different story on Monday under sunny skies and warmer conditions.The court was livelier, Murray said. The court isnt way faster, but obviously when you play in quicker conditions, the ball travels through the air quicker. Also maybe down to the way he was playing as well ... hitting the ball very flat and coming to the net a lot.Murray, who next plays big-serving Australian Marinko Matosevic, has a tough draw that could involve a quarterfinal match against Roger Federer.I need to continue serving well, Murray said of Matosevic. When you play against a big guy who likes to go for his shots, if you can keep good weight and depth ... that can frustrate them. Ill try and use some variety to throw his timing off a little bit.Beyond Matosevic, hes not looking too far ahead.The year I won Wimbledon everyone was saying it was the hardest draw, and then a couple guys get knocked out, Murray said. A lot can change in a couple of days in sport.

The U.The annual Call Of Duty Championships was hosted in LA over the weekend at Activisions own event - CoD XP - where it revealed the multiplayer side of the latest version of the game, due out later this year. Alongside many other events that happened at CoD XP - which acts as a celebration of all things Call Of Duty for fans and industry professionals alike - Activision also hosted the Call Of Duty Championship, the grand finals of the World League that had been playing out over the course of months earlier this year.There were many contenders for the title, from the likes of OpTic Gaming, FaZe Clan, Cloud9 and Splyce, from the UK - the latter being Europes best hope for glory. Many of the top teams failed to translate their reputation into results, some being knocked out early on in the tournaments initial rounds. Especially surprising was tournament favourites OpTic Gamings early elimination.Most interesting was the appearance of Fab Games, a German-based e-Sports team, who were a relatively unknown quantity in the world of Call Of Duty e-Sports. Call of Duty- EnvyUs It was Fab Games who managed to knock many of the strongest teams - such as OpTic Gaming - into the Losers Bracket.It was up against Team eLevate that Fab Games would eventually stumble, first being knocked into the Losers Bracket and then out of the tournament by Splyce. It was the UK-team that would go on to compete in the grand finals against Team EnVyUs.The semi-finals took place with Team eLevate against Team EnVyUs. It was an extremely close gamme with no clear winner from the start, until EnVyUs managed to claim the fifth and final match in the best-of-five series, knocking eLevate out into the Losers Bracket where it was to face Splyce.ddddddddddddhis, too, was a tense match, but Splyce continued its run of form, defeating eLevate, earning their progression as the winners of the Losers Bracket, and a place in the grand finals against EnVyUs.It was an exciting match-up, but it was especially nail-biting for European e-Sports fans who had found themselves backing the underdogs Splyce due to the potential history they could have made. Call of Duty - Splyce Since its inauguration, no European team has taken the trophy at the Call Of Duty Championship, and with Splyces recent confident performances it seemed, for many, that this could finally be the chance.That was not to be, however. Though the team managed to win the first of the best-of-five series of matches, it failed to grasp a hold during any of the following three matches and ultimately led to a three-game win streak by EnVyUs that saw the European hopefuls knocked out of the tournament at the final stage.To have earned second place is no doubt a bittersweet achievement for Splyce, especially after Team EnVyUs - who had dominated many of its matches through the year and particularly during the Championships - took away $800,000 in prize money.For a full rundown of the tournament, the best teams and the many shocks and upsets of the event, take a look at Ginx eSports TVs Call Of Duty Championships round-up.
