Andy Murray has admitted that it is important for him to improve his serve during the 2015 season.

The sixth seed dropped just seven points on his second serve during his straight-sets victory over Yuki Bhambri at the Australian Open, but the two-time major winner has revealed that it is an area of his game that he attempted to alter last year.

The 27-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "I didn't serve well last year. I tried to make some changes after coming back from surgery and it didn't help at all.

"I went back to serving how I used to and that's really helped me. I've felt a lot more comfortable."

Murray is scheduled to play Australia's Marinko Matosevic in the second round on Wednesday.
