MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Andy Murray overcame a slow start to beat American Ryan Harrison 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 and advance to the second round of the Australian Open on Tuesday. Murray was a finalist at Melbourne Park the past two years, losing in straight sets to Roger Federer in 2010 and to Novak Djokovic last year. He also did not win a set in his other Grand Slam final—against Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open—and he is attempting to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam singles title.
