Andy Murray has arrived in Australia ready for January's Hopman Cup and has made a furry friend along the way!

The two-time Grand Slam winner took a trip to Perth's Caversham Wildlife Park on Thursday where he met koala bear Sunshine.

Murray, who guided Great Britain to Davis Cup victory in November, will join forces with Heather Watson once again at the Hopman Cup, which starts on Sunday.

The world No 2 told the Hopman Cup's official website: "I love animals, I always have.

"I always grew up with pets and stuff, so it's nice to meet some."
