Reaction from Andy Murray after he lost his fifth Australian Open final, going down 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) to Novak Djokovic on Sunday

SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Murray, 2016 Australian Open runner-up:

(On why he thought he started slow today)

"A lot's been going on. You know, I started the last couple of matches quite slowly, I think, understandable in some respects. Obviously, you know, it's not good to begin matches like that against someone like Novak. But, you know, I'm proud of the way I fought and managed to get myself back into the match and create chances for myself. But, yeah, obviously didn't start particularly well."

(On how close or far off from Novak Djokovic he feels he is)

"I do think I could have played a bit better, like I said. I didn't think I hit my forehand as well as I could have done. When I did in the third set, that helped me out a lot. I was able to get myself into the net more. I was able to play more offensive tennis then. Yeah, I mean, most of the matches we played in slams I think have been competitive. Whether that looks the same from the outside or not, I don't know. For a three-set match, 2 hours and 50 minutes, it was a tough few sets."

(On how close he was to leaving the tournament early after his father-in-law collapsed in the stands)

"I don't know. It was close. I've never been in that position before, so it's as close as I've sort of been to leaving a Grand Slam. But I don't really know how close that is. But, yeah, it was a tough, tough couple of days. Thankfully he's fine now. Yeah, I just want to get home."
