ANDY MURRAY reckons the female touch is turning him into a man possessed just in time for the first Grand Slam of the year.
Murray partnered teenager Laura Robson in the Hopman Cup yesterday to help Britain beat Kazakhstan 2-1 in their opening tie Down Under.
It was a rare mixed doubles outing for the Scot but he insists it's given him all the aggression he will need at the net ahead of the Australian Open in two weeks' time.
Murray is often accused of not rampaging forward enough but he battered that claim out of court in Perth.
The 22-year-old said: "With the mixed you have to play, as the guy, a little more aggressively at the net and take a few more chances.
"That's good for your movement and gives you some confidence on the volleys if you make some big ones. It all helps my preparation."
Murray, who had breezed through his singles match with Andrey Golubev 6-2 in just 61 minutes after Robson had dropped her opener to Yaroslava Shvedova, was made to work a whole lot harder in the mixed doubles.
In fact, he and Robson had to stave off a match point before securing the tie in a third-set tie-break 6-2 5-7 7-6 (12-10).
Brief But Murray reckons the build-up to the Aussie Open couldn't have been any better.
His opening match may have been brief against the world's 133rd-ranked player but with at least two singles matches left to play in the round-robin tournament, Murray was delighted to ease back into competition.
He said: "I only arrived two days ago and it was 40 degrees which was a big shock. This time yesterday I was sleeping as well so it's about getting over all that right now.
"But it was perfect. That's why they get a good field here every year. I played four sets today, I'm guaranteed at least four sets every day we play the matches.
"I got to spend two hours 45 minutes playing competitive tennis.
"It was a good way to start the year. I started the match well and went up a break early and got more confident as the match went on.
"There were some good points, some long rallies and I served quite well pretty much right throughout the match. I have worked on that a lot over the past few weeks."
Murray and Robson next face the German pairing of Sabine Lisicki and Philipp Kohlschreiber tomorrow.
