MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Andy Murray's hopes of finally getting his hands on the Australian Open title were ended for another year when the top seed and world number one was tied up in knots and flung out of the fourth round by Mischa Zverev on Sunday.

With reigning champion Novak Djokovic having been knocked out in the second round, a grand slam will head into the second week without its top two men's seeds for the first time since the 2004 French Open.
