Andy Murray believes that he did a "good job" in navigating his Australian Open first-round encounter with Robin Haase.
The Scot - now bidding for his second Grand Slam title - came through 6-3 6-1 6-3 to book his place in the second round.
"I started the year well in Brisbane but obviously coming into the Slams, the first match is normally pretty tough," said Murray.
"There's nerves in the build-up. You've just got to try and focus and play solid, not make too many silly mistakes.
"I did a good job of that today. It's always nice to get through the first round of a tournament, but especially here."
Murray will now play Portugal's Joao Sousa on Thursday.
